Swen,
NetView on Unix doesn't do a broadcast ping. NetView on Windows can,
IIRC.
You have help/force discovery by pinging nodes manually, using a
seedfile or using the loadhosts command.
HTH,

Hi all,
first " a happy new year" to everybody.
I have a question about discovery of layer 2 devices :
In my opinion netview discovers a subnet , while reading
the routing table of a layer 3 device. The devices in this subnet
become discoverd only, when they appear in the arp table of
the layer 3 device.
How discovers netview a layer 2 device in this subnet, which do not
appear in the arp table. Does netview do a braodcast ping?
Thanks
Swen
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Kind regards
