Dimitris,
with NetView 6.0.1, you can tell netmon to use SNMP to check the status of
an interface instead of using ping.
You define the node in your seed file with '$' as a prefix, eg $10.10.10.10.
When netmon polls the node 10.10.10.10, it will use ifAdmin and ifOperStatus
to get the real status of its interfaces.
