I tried to import the oid, and also "Is Router=TRUE" and "Is IPRouter=TRUE"
but it doesn't change anything, even after unmanaging and re-managing the
device. ovtopofix doesn't do anything either ....
any idea ?

Francois, I would just try it. You could use nvdbimport to set the SNMP
sysObjectID
field to something that the oid_to_type file says has a flag G. I think I
would make up
a fake oid for this purpose. Then stop netmon, and ovtopofix -o <youroid>.
If you see
messages in the output about '...is not a Gateway and should be...fixing',
then you know
you fooled it. To get them popped up to the top level of the map, it may be
necessary
to unmanage and manage the networks they are on.
I've noticed that the SNMP sysObjectID field does not get unset if you lose
snmp
access to a real snmp device, so it should stay set. Apparently it is one
of those
fields that is only set at discovery. If you delete and rediscover the node
you
will of course have to re-import the value.
Cordially,

I don't think it is needed to be able to ping an interface to add it with
the loadhost command. I think it can be created as down and then unmanaged.
There is an option in loadhost to not try to ping an interface when it is
created.
Anyway, It would be difficult to add a loopback interface somewhere for
each of the 200+ routers that we are talking about.
is it not possible to import a value for the object in the database in
order for Netview to see it as a router ?
Thanks,
