It's relatively easy to dump the topology and use a few grep's and awk's to
build a list of IP address and Host name. But, the only hostnames that
Netview knows are those that it could resolve through some type of name
resolution(/etc/hosts or DNS) - so this information has to be available
somewhere in your network already.
Also, my current customer runs with a 2500 entry /etc/hosts file, and that
itself has never seemed to impact the CPU.
Please try to explain in more detail what you are trying to accomplish.

Subject: How to generate /etc/hosts from netview
Is their a tool availabel to build /etc/hosts based on Netview/6000
database .
My customer has generated /etc/hosts using traps and rulleset to do
snmpget for the host .
Yet , this 3000 lines /etc/hots has caused netmon and ovtopomd to kill the
cpu .
Anybody has a better tool ?
Thanks Dror
