For a device to considered a router it must have two or more interfaces and have
forwarding turned on.
It could also be shown as a gateway if the G flag is turned on in the
oid_to_type for its sysobjectid.

Bernard,
Thanks for your reply.
The value of that MIB item (ipForwarding) is on our machine notForwarding ,
so according to your
reply the node is not a router.
However NetView says it is.
My conclusion is that there must be other (or more) conditions which
determine the type of the node.
The node is connected to two FDDI lan's and one normal lan(hme0).
So my question still exists: what brings NetView to the conclusion that it
is a Router?
