Hi Netviewers,

Over the weekend we had a server fail and it was reported as Router Marginal 
(Warning) rather than a Node Down (Major). The servers has 2 interfaces but no 
routing loaded. The interface that failed was the Production network whilst the 
Backups network stayed up.

The ovobjprint shows:
        FIELD ID        FIELD NAME                      FIELD VALUE

        120             isWorkstation                   TRUE
        135             isIP                            TRUE

        156             SNMP sysObjectID                "1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.1.1"
...

        177             TopM Interface List             "hme0       Up

                                                        "hme1       Up         
10.126.0.14     255.255.0.0     0x0800209B56EB  ethernet csmacd     "

Why has Netview reported a Node as a router when isRouter = FALSE?
How do we set Netview so that when the Production interfaces fails the Major 
alarm is raised, not managing the Backups interface is being considered.
