I was thinking maybe its something you could use nvsniffer for to check to
see if port 161 will response. Have not tried it, but it's a idea.

VInce;
I know of no way to get NetView to generate a trap when a device looses its
ability to talk SNMP. I suppose you can write a script to periodically try
an snmpget on a device and then manually send a trap to NetView when a
failure occurs.
