Does it seams to you that it is working the way it should be ?
the daily configuration polling or nmdemandpoll used to do the cleaning of
all the interfaces that don't exist anymore and it is not doing it now. We
end up will lots of "Unmanaged" interfaces in the nodes and some white
subnets on the map that should not be there.
Theses object once unmanaged will never be deleted by Netview. It is not
only useless to have theses objects in Netview but it is also confusing for
the users as it make them believe that the interfaces (and the subnets) are
still there.
nmdemandpoll read the interface table and also look for secondary
interfaces. It should be able to see the change and fix it in the object in
Netview.

This is working as designed.
netmon will not delete interface from nodes with either have
secondary interfaces, HSRP interfaces or are "Terminal Servers".
It may accidently delete those types of interfaces or the
interface(es) of the "Terminal Server"

I used to believe, in earlier versions, that it would delete interface
cards for interfaces that were no longer configured. I first noticed it no
longer did
this in 7.1.1. I thought maybe I only imagined that it ever worked that
way. It
appears that it is now necessary to manually delete those interfaces. I
would suspect that it might be a side-effect of all the code changes
required to support of RFI. Have you noticed whether they fall under the
'node down
delete interval'? I have not checked. I just make it a policy to manually
delete them when the Change Control notification (smile) tells me that
an interface has been deconfigured.
Cordially,

I have observed this phenomena using v7.1.3 under Solaris 2.8. The device
in question is a Cisco 6509 switch and the subnets were VLANs that were
removed. Demand poll seemed to have no effect on these "unreachable"
subnets. I have been suspicious of it but had not come to any conclusion. I
think there is something there, just can't put my finger on it.
