Vince, i usually run snmpwalk against the remote node to verify whether or not
SNMP is running... of couse you may run into problems with community names etc.

We are running v5.1.1 Netview on Digital UNIX v4.0d. We are trying to
find a way to check if an SNMP agent is running on a device. Often times
the device is pingable but the SNMP agent has failed which doesn't allow
for data collection or trap generation from the device. Is there a way
for Netview to check for SNMP running on nodes and if it isn't then
generate a trap so that it can be dealt with. Thanks!
