Thanks Les, But still i have doubt. For an example, if i define netmon
polling interval is 10mts. when it polls to device and one of the interface
is down for the device and display the same down inofrmation in GUI.(object
DB also). Immediately after the poll, the interface is UP, so the device
send the trap information to netview about the status. In that case what
would be the object database? will netview display "UP" information?
Once again thanks for the info..
