Interface down trap is indeed the one to use. I suspect that your problem
lies in the mechanism you are using to decide if the router is one of the
"certain nodes" that you care about. (i.e. if you are testing the IP address
of the router interface that went down against the IP address of the node name
that netview knows the router by, its not usually going to match.)
Probably the easiest way to do this is to create a colection of MajorNodes,
put all your routers, switches, etc, in it, and then use the ruleset object
that tests whether the trap is from an object in that collection.
