Dmitry,

Have you considered changing your network discovery to make your life a
whole lot easier?    If you can blow away your current database and
rediscover, you may make adminstration a whole lot easier.

A suggestion:    Go into "Server Setup" and under discovery, change the
discovery to "Backbone Only".   This means only  routers and switches.
If you also have some servers that you need to have Up/Down management,
then put those IP addresses into your seed file for netmon.   This will
cause NetView to discovery them.    Then have NetView clear your databases
and rediscover.   You can choose to keep your smartset configuration or
start fresh again.

The 2000+  PCs on your network will disappear from your NV.  It will use
less memory and more importantly, less work by you in rules, etc.

Changes this big is recommended to be done on a test system first if you
have one..

Well, unless you customized them, netmon's node up/node down events have a
SOURCE of N not V.  So you may be trying to block the wrong events in your
ruleset.  I would turn on the nvcorrd trace (nvcdebug -d all) so you can
see your ruleset work.  Look for the eyecatcher "Received a Trap" and
"Finished with a Trap" .  Everything in between is your ruleset
processing.  You should be able to see what the enterprise id is of the
trap which isn't matching.

Hello Netview list!

We have a problem with Netview 7.1.3FP01+Switch Analyzer 1.2.1 on Linux
Server(Redhat7.3).
In our network we have about 3000 nodes. A lot of then are PC's.
We don't want to monitor them, so all pc's are in unmanaged state.
But netview brings to as Node down and Node up events from some of them.
Event have a V(vendor) value in SOURCE slot.
I create a ruleset to filter events from non Router or Switches and
integrate this ruleset in Event Viewer and use it as TEC frowarding rule.
Regardless of anything Down and Up events displayed in Event Viewr and
flows
to TEC!

Can anybody seen this problem?
