Netview when using pings for status polls will send more than one ping based
on the XNMPSNMPCONF retries field I believe. If you look at the SNMP config
for that device the retries should be greater than 1 and therefore should
send more than one ping (assuming the first one fails).

Hello,

We have NetView Version 6.0.1 and AIX 4.3.2.
The Question:
As I know NetView sends for status polling a ping with one
frame. In my case NetView has to send a ping to a device
after a firewall. The firewall swallows up the first ping-frame.
So if NetView sends only one frame this is allways swallowd up
and the device appears as NODE DOWN.
How can I tell NetView to send more than one frame?

Thanks in advance and with best regards
