RE: [nv-l] Pinging a device to add it to the map

James:
Are
you sure about what you are saying? Aren't you missing something or am I
wrong?? ... Are you saying that if a device doesn't respond to SNMP isn't going
to be discovered? I've done this a lot of times, or is this because i haven't
still read the 7.1.4 release notes?
Is
there anything i missed from the conversation?

Right. netmon is a complex animal and I cannot
explain how he works in detail but suffice it to say that netmon is listening
for unexpected ping responses. Those are ones that are going back to
you, not ones that netmon is waiting for. When he sees one of yours, he puts it on his list of nodes to check.
When he gets around to that, activity, if the node isn't in the
database, netmon will try to contact it by SNMP as well as by ping (one he
sends), and if he is successful, then he'll add the node and you see it pop
up

Thanks James,
oddly it seems though now
that i have taken care of my timing issue on the ping timeouts, It it
picking up devices where it was not able to before. Discovery is moving
much quicker now.
and it does seem though that right
after I ping a device from the Netview box I can see in the event log that the
deivce I just ping'd was added to netview.
