AIX 4.3.2, NV 5.1.2 and NV 6.0
in version 6.0 of netview it seems that one flag of netmon (-L, discover
loopback interfaces with other address than 127.0.0.0) was withdrawn.
 
I have a Cisco 1600 with loopback interface 10.10.224.85 and three other
interfaces
 
Demand poll with NV 5.1.2 (netmon runs with -L):
Interface 10.10.232.86 (currently up)    responded to ping
Interface 10.10.21.1 (currently up)    responded to ping 
Interface 10.10.224.85 (currently up)    responded to ping 
Interface 10.10.240.86 (down since 07/03/00)    ping timed out
 
Demand poll with NV 6.0 shows:
Interface 10.10.232.86 (currently up)    responded to ping
Interface 10.10.21.1 (currently up)    responded to ping 
Interface 10.10.240.86 (down since 07/03/00)    ping timed out

So it looks like netmon V6.0 doesn't discover the loopback interface I'd
like to see. Does that work as designed? Did I miss anything? Can I use an
undocumented "-L feature"?

Any help is very welcome...Andreas
