Hi  Michel,
Are you quite sure that these interfaces are unmanaged in ALL maps? If there is ANY map with a device still managed, then you will still get polls. Try ovobjprint -s <one of your nodes> - it gives you the number of maps an object exists in and the number of maps the object is managed in. Another check is to do a netmon -a 12 and a netmon -a 16 to dump ping and SNMP poll times - if a device is really unmanaged, it shouldn't appear on either list.
Cheers,
Jane

Im on AIX 4.3.3  with Maintenance Relase 9 (with Linux Tool Box)
NetView 7.1.2

Since I use 7.1.2 I get Interface Down messages from Interfaces that are unmanaged. I think this happens during the Demand Poll every 24h cause the Interfaces are up via SNMP but not via ICMP. But still, I have set them unmanaged and therefor I dont want to recieve messages from those Interfaces. To change this behavior I just see one solution at the moment, change the polling from ICMP to SNMP and set those Interfaces Managed again. I dont like this solution cause this means to activate SNMP polls for more then 1'000 Nodes (each with at least 4 Interfaces. 2 reachable via ICMP and 2 only via SNMP). Anyone got some better Ideas? I just want to reduce the events I get.

Thanks in advance

Michel
