[nv-l] Device will not discover...

["David M. Funk" <mfunk@trinitysol.net>]

Folks,

I am running Netview 7.1.4 FixPack03 on Windows 2003 and am trying to discover a couple new nodes.

172.16.4.100

It is pinging…
bash$ ping 172.16.4.100

Pinging 172.16.4.100 with 32 bytes of data:

bash$

I have discovery turned on and the device I want to discover is in my seed file.

netmon.seed
@limit_discovery   # Limit discovery to the contents of this seed file.
65.208.167.*
172.16.1-70.100
192.168.100.*
172.17.32.*

10.3.*.1-254
!10.*.5-7.*
!10.2.15-17.*
%10.2.2.1

The device is not in the database or topology
bash$ /usr/OV/bin/ovobjprint |grep 172.16.4.100
bash$

I tried
loadhosts -m 255.255.255.0 << EOF
172.16.4.100 Store3004
EOF

And now it shows up in the database…
bash$ /usr/OV/bin/ovobjprint |grep 172.16.4.100
        186             SNMP ipAddress                  "172.16.4.100"
bash$

Netmon.trace snippet
10/12/2005 11:43:22 AM:sending ping to 10.6.3.1 seqnum = 7302 ident = 4480 timeout = 1
10/12/2005 11:43:22 AM:sending ping to 172.16.4.100 seqnum = 7303 ident = 4480 timeout = 1
10/12/2005 11:43:23 AM:sending ping to 10.2.4.55 seqnum = 7304 ident = 4480 timeout = 1

And I get a Blue IP Network icon 172.16.4 on the netview map, but no device contained within.

Hmm.. As a matter of fact all my newly discovered segments are Blue?

Thoughts?
