I have
yet to see an ovtopodump -rl <resourcename> indicate it switched from ICMP
polling to SNMP polling. If it works, you can't prove it by me. I trust your
judgement however, so if you say it should work I believe it should work without
deleting. I just can't claim to have seen it work. Probably a timing thing, if I
was patient it probably would work. But on a device that isn't being managed
properly, so who cares if it's discovered, I just delete and rediscover
it.
Why would you
delete and rediscover them? Just change the seed file and reload it
(netmon -y) or restart netmon and that should have the same effect.

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?
