Workaround: problems discovering Cisco 7206

Hi again
 
My problem seems to be resolved by doing the following steps:
- turn on the -l flag of netmon (manage devices added by loadhosts) 
- then use loadhosts to add the router:
echo "<IP address> <routername>" | loadhosts -a -m 255.255.255.0 -p -P

Now the object shows up as an generic icon and after the first demand poll
it gets the correct SNMP-icon. Somehow, the first and second time I got
entries in the demand poll window saying that netmon deleted the node (and
he did so). I found out that my entry !@oid0 in the seedfile was the reason
for that (some non-identified components seem to be non-SNMP). After doing
some cleanups (ovtopofix -a, ovmapcount -a, ovwdbdmap -c) and re-adding the
router with the loadhosts command it finally got stable.

I think now it's a good time for the weekend...Andreas

My seedfile consists only of two lines 
10.1.1.4 
10.1.1.5 

I doublechecked that the read community is fine. Any other ideas?

My guess is that you have a bad read community string for 10.1.1.5 in 
NetView.  It seems to me that he did not discover SNMP Supported on 
1.1.5.  Depending on how you have discovery setup, it would not put it 
on the map if you have "not snmp" in the seedfile.
