        Yes.
        You would use Netview to discover everything.  It is much better at
        discover (and
        more controllable) than MLM. Then offload status polling to the MLM.

        So install the MLM somewhere, like on the other side of a slow link,
and
        assign
        monitoring of part of the network to that MLM. Netmon will continue
to
        monitor the rest.
        You can  make the assignment by means of configuring a Smartset that
is
        created
        automatically  when  you enable the C5d daemon for the Agent Policy
Manager
        function.
        This is the  simplest way I have found to do this.

        Cordially,

        AIX 4.3.3 | NetView 6.0.1

        I have a NetView server with no MLM's that this point. I was wanting
to
        know,
        can I add a AIX MLM and give half of the discovery to the MLM and
keep the
        other
        half with the NetView server, or do I need to have 2 MLM's?
Basically, we
        have 2
        WAN's. Can I use the server to manage one WAN, while the MLM manages
the
        other?
        Thanks.
