If the router has a unique oid, you can create an entry in the oid_to_type
file with a "G" to force it to be a gateway, and an "I" to force no snmp. It
will however stop the demand poll as soon as it sees the oid and will not
discover any other interfaces in the router. You'll have to add those
manually if you need them.

Subject: [NV-L] I just want to ping it !!!
In running NV NT 6.0.1 I noticed at a few nodes were not
getting monitored (routers to be specific).
Doing a netmon-trace it basically stated that I didn't have SNMP-access,
and therefore deleted the node, after discovering it and doing some
initial testing.
Question... is it possible to force netmon to just ping a node?
For some of my nodes... I just want to ping the primary interface, and
don't want to do any SNMP (at all).
Thanks.
