If secondary addressing is enabled, does NetView use a regular (e.g. as in
unix)ARP command or does it use SNMP to obtain ARP information? I am not
aware of a means to obtain ARP information via SNMP.

Thank You
Paul

Well, if you have enabled support for secondary addressing, which is
on by default in V6, then the arp table is used as well. See the output
of demand polls and the help for netmon configuration.

Netview uses the IpNetToMedia table during discovery, not the arp table.

may point your MIB browser to an appropiate device and watch the results.

I think you're going to find that, like
all other products that do network
discovery, NetView's discovery process
is a trade secret.  Translation:  even
the developers don't understand it.

I think you can bet ARP is involved though.
