One solution is to add name resolution for the addresses that the
traps come from. Make it the same name as the Selection Name for
the node. If your DNS does not allow two addresses to resolve to
the same name, then put them in /etc/hosts.
Another solution is to make sure the nodes are discovered by the
address that sends the traps. You can do this by putting the name
(or the address) in a seedfile, and deleting and rediscovering the
node.

Subject: [NV-L] SNMP Configuration
hi,
the map application figure out the routers and it's
interfaces in the network. But with DNS maybe just
one single name is asigned to one of the planty
router interfaces.
It seems that NetView SNMP applications are
not clever enought to check back to its database,
to find out, that all this interfaces fit to one and the
same router.
my problem:
My filter don't work on authentication failure traps,
because the trap came in with an ip-adresse, which
is not asigned to the routers name....
maybe there is an other solution than set up a filter
with more than 20 event attribute nodes, one for every
router interface???
thanks in advance
