I have interfaces on Sidewinder devices and PIX firewalls that are not able to 
be pinged. The interfaces are found on the device when the device is polled. If 
I delete the interfaces they reappear the next time the device is polled. I 
have tried adding them as negative entries in netmon.seed but that has no 
affect. If I set them as unmanaged or acknowledged they are fine for a while 
but will eventually become managed and show as down. I am running Netview 7.1.3 
on AIX 5.1. Any suggestions?
