Re: [nv-l] added router disappears in 30s

[Paul <pstroud@bellsouth.net>]

Fawad,
If you want to give it a try:
netmon -M -1
loadhosts < whatever
nmdemandpoll hostname
wait for it to disappear
netmon -M 0
Then grep for the ip address and hostname in
/usr/OV/log/netmon.trace. It should say right
in there why it wad deleted.
