The Sun boxes I have worked with in the past with 2 NICs had IP forwarding
turned on by default.
No, I couldnt believe it either.

By definition, any device with at least two interface cards in different
networks, which also has IP forwarding turned on, is a router. That's what
NetView is telling you. You can turn off IP forwarding on that box and it
will no longer be a router, but you will probably have to delete and
rediscover it to get the map re-drawn. Or you can leave it one and
understand that it is NetView which is correct about what is, and what is
not, a router.

Dear all,
The Netview will recognize some servers (two interface cards) as routers
but actually not. Why ? In what situation that Netview will recognize
something as routers ? for example multiple interface cards ? or any
others? How could I reset them to ordinary servers? Please help,
thanks...
