Re: PING only to monitor

["James Shanks" <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

Then why not fix that?  Ask them for the correct community name and put it 
into xnmsnmpconf.  It's just that simple isn't it?

These devices that I am referring to are all cisco routers that have 
already been discovered and are in my seedfile and the owners say that 
every time netview polls the device and the snmp get fails they get an 
error message on their log about wrong community name. 
Thanks,

Tom,

By default, NetView will do just that.    Of course, NetView will only 
ping
the 1 interface.   It cannot find out about the other interfaces if they
exist since it cannot read the MIB.    So hopefully this is a server, not 
a
router.    If that subnet is not discovered yet, use the command loadhost
to add it to NetView.    You will see it get loaded into NetView and 
remain
a non-SNMP box with a single interface.

Kind regards,
