Laurens,
perhaps what you could also do is define your Sun machines in your seed file
with the dollar ($) prefix. Netmon will then use SNMP (compare
ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus) instead of using pings to determine the
status of those interfaces.
If ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus are equal, then I think NetView will not
display then as down.
perhaps worth trying...
let us know.
