Do you mean the selection from Monitor--> Graph -> Ethernet Traffic and
Ethernet Errors?
That's a hold-over from HP OpenView days.
It's greyed out because the node you selected isn't the right kind.
Take a look at \usr\ov\reg\advanced\c\ovip\nnm-ip.gph (you can look at it
with notepad) and you will see that the actions for these options requires
that you select an HP device, which responds to a proprietary HP MIB
(.1.3.6.1.4.1.11 is the HP enterprise number). I've cut-and-pasted the
relevant parts below.

[nv-l] ethernet monitoring greyed

Please respond to

Hi list,
Im running Netview 7.1.4 running on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
When I try to track the Ethernet error and Ethernet performance, the
options for both of these are shaded out.
Any idea how to get this working?
Regards,
Troy
