If netmon won't discover an object you think it should then I would
recommend the netmon trace.
You can start it dynamically with "netmon -M -1" from a command window and
stop it the same way with 'netmon -M -0"
The negative one trace mask has it trace everything. (Other mask values
are also possible, as documented in the Programmer's Reference in
\usr\ov\books. ) Then you can observe what happens in
\usr\ov\log\netmon.trace when you ping the device.
If you want to see what happens with the seed file, then you can have
netmon reload and re-evaluate it by issuing netmon -y, while you are
tracing.
You can manually add devices to the object database using the loadhosts
command, which is also documented in the Programmer's Reference in
\usr\ov\books

Please respond to

Thanks glen and I have tried this usual force discovery (Seed file and
pinging), but not getting discovered on the map. Do we have another
mechanism to add a device manually and start monitoring on NetView?
Best regards,
Anvaj

We have several similar issues. Have you tried adding those hostnames or
IP addresses to the seedfile? If not, you can access it by going to
Options - Netmon Seed Editor. Highlight set initial discovery seeds - then
hit add and either enter the IP or the hostname (make sure it's the
"nearest hop" interface though). Just hit save and answer yes when asked
to update the network monitor. Try a ping a few seconds later and
typically it will appear. I've had many nodes on the back side of
firewalls and VPNs where this is the only way to get them discovered.

Subject: [nv-l] How to discover VPN & Remote Router?
Hi,
I am running Netview 7.1.4 with FP03 on win2k Server. I have a Router and
Firewall to monitor at the remote location
My NMS can reach (ping and snmp) these devices through a VPN (Cisco PIX 515
to Router 2611) and I am able to do ping and SNMP-Walk on these devices.
But I am not able to discover these devoices on my NetView MAP by following
the usual methods (seed file, pining etc). Also my VPN connectivity from
the local PIX (This is displaced on the MAP) to remoter router is also not
displayed.
Please share your thoughts on the force discovery or possible problems.
Best regards,
