Farrag,

But why do i need to do that, i havent
made any changes, i did a clean installation and it puts the devices in
that SmartSet. Why do i need to change the oid_to_Type file.?

Regards,
~Usman

Hi,
 
Read about editing the oid_to_type file in
the Netview Unix administrator's guide page 177.
To know the OID of a bad OID device querey
the SNMP system variables
snmpwalk -c community_name hostname system

to reflect the changes you made to the oid_to_type you should do the following:
- restart the netmon daemon.
- issue a demand poll over the devices with bad OIDs.
 
Best regards,
 
Alaa Farrag
