If you use SNMP polling NetView will not need to ping them - delete from
topology and put them in the seed file with a "$" sign:
mypix.mydomain.com
$mypix.mydomain.com
They will be managed and not pinged.

Subject: [nv-l] Unmanaged interfaces
I have interfaces on Sidewinder devices and PIX firewalls that are not able to
be pinged. The interfaces are found on the device when the device is polled. If
I delete the interfaces they reappear the next time the device is polled. I
have tried adding them as negative entries in netmon.seed but that has no
affect. If I set them as unmanaged or acknowledged they are fine for a while
but will eventually become managed and show as down. I am running Netview 7.1.3
on AIX 5.1. Any suggestions?
