Hi Leslie
many thanks for your help. But I would like to ask another question. What is
the diffrence between initial a "normal" discovery a when the initial
discovery finishes and the "normal" discovery begins.
Best regards
Josef Hlaves

This is working fine for me. There is an option to say whether to use the
alternates only on initial discovery. Perhaps your devices were discovered
once as non-snmp nodes before you added the names? You could change
the setting (on Discovery, I think) to use it all the time for a while (it
takes more
overhead), and demand-poll some of the nodes. Or delete them and
rediscover them. When I had to add a new community string to the file after
some nodes were discovered as non-snmp, I only had to demand-poll them
and then they changed into routers. I believe mine is set to only use it on
initial discovery.
Cordially,

Hi
I have five read community names for all routers in my network. I entered
the community names in the file communitynames.conf.
But the routers haven't been discovered at all.
I must write down my community names for each router by means of SNMP
option
to make NetView discover my routes properly.
I would greatly appretiate if somebody tell me how to make use of the file
communitynames.conf properly for discovery process.
Many thanks
Josef Hlaves
