James,
I have some good news and some bad news.
Good news is the stopsrc/startsrc worked to get netmon up.
Bad news is I cannot ping any device off the local subnet. The router is OK,
I can ping the devices from an NT desktop pc, but when I ping from my
Netview
box I get ..
__________________________________________________
PING 10.35.135.1: (10.35.135.1): 56 data bytes

My netview maps indicate everything is down, but it's not.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Have you tried just stopping and restarting snmpd? The MIB message is
usually NOT the problem unless you don't have the default set which includes
rfc1213-MIB-II loaded.
Do "stopsrc -s snmpd", wait a few seconds, then "startsrc -s snmpd" and see
if it restarts. Count to ten and ovstart netmon.
Doesn't help? then check that your /etc/hosts has these two entries first:
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
<your_ip_address> <your_hostname>
and that xnmsnmpconf has entries for BOTH of these if you are not using
"public" as the default community name.
Try an snmpwalk of your own box and see if it works (don't specify the
community --let it default). If it does, then netmon should start.
If it doesn't then I don't know what to tell you.

Subject: [NV-L] Problem with netmon
Greetings to all,
First, I may be a little cranky this morning since our Netview
box went down after an extended power outage, so I hope I wasn't
too harsh with David about his autoresponder. :)
AIX 4.3 and netview 5.2
(I know, I know, upgrade!!!)
Anyway, this has happened in the past and all I have ever done
is restore to solve the problem.
If the machine has an abrupt shutdown, netmon will not start.
I get the following message ...
____________________________________________________________________-
Cannot communicate with SNMP Agent via loopback address (127.0.0.1); it is
either not running or has been configured with a community name different
from that configured into TME 10 NetView for this system. If a community
name ha
s
been configured into the SNMP Agent, that community name must be configured
via xnmsnmpconf and /usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf for address 127.0.0.1 as well
as for the hostname or IP address of this system.
Or, the /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin files are
corrupted
and need to be rebuilt using the
Maintain->Rebuild MIB binary file with installation MIB defaults
option in smit
_____________________________________________________________________
When I tried to rebuild the files, it *really* screwed things up.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
