Why would you delete and rediscover them?  Just change the seed file and reload it (netmon -y) or restart netmon and that should have the same effect.

If you use SNMP polling NetView will not need to ping them - delete from topology and put them in the seed file with a "$" sign:

mypix.mydomain.com
$mypix.mydomain.com

They will be managed and not pinged.

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?
