Scott,

I failed to mentioned that I do have DISCOVER turned ON. I did not run netmon-y 
to refresh. Another question:

Now that those devices are discovered, Netview is displaying NodeDown. I put a 
sniffer on Netview server to capture all traffic and it shows that Netview is 
issuing 3 pings within the same second and not waiting for a reply. So I get 
1)Interface down, node down, interface up, node up,2) interface down, node 
down, interface up, node up 3)interface down, node down, interface up, node up

I checked the /etc/host file and this device is not listed. Could it possible 
that Netmon is confused when trying to resolve the name. The netsvc.conf has 
hosts=local,bind. So it should look at the host file first and then the dns 
server.

Any ideas

If "new node discovery" is off you will not discover this device unless it is 
in the seed file. If it is in the seed file, you can do a NETMON -Y to refresh 
the netmon daemon and re-read the seed file. Or run discovery full time.

HI All,

Running AIX 4.3.3 Netview 6.0.2 Framework 3.7.1

General question, I added a new switch to the network yesterday morning around 
10am.The netmon added/discovered it around 4am this morning. Is that normal?

All day yesterday, I pinged the device, I did a demand poll on the router to 
see if Netmon would discover it sooner. I checked netmon.seed file to make sure 
it was not excluded. I also looked at netmon's queue but nothing was 'waiting' .

any ideas as to why it took so long to discover a device? or is this normal?

Please advice.
