Not gonna work. As soon as NetView sees that the address he contacted
does not match what he finds in SNMP, it gets deleted. Take a look at
CNAT, it should have shipped with NetView. This will allow you to
discover NAT'd devices.

Hi,

We have 5-10 windows boxes whose addresses are getting translated via the Cisco NAT (Header only) on the router to which these nodes connect. NV 714 is on the other side of the router and is unable to discover these NAT devices automatically.

Tried everything , deleting the DBs, rediscovering, demand polling, deleting the router and rediscovering etc. The only time these devices show up in the submap is when I ping them individually from the NV box.

Is this normal or something is missing ?

YES, the netmon.conf was modified for
NV_NETMON_DISCOVER_RIBB_AND_NATDADDR=TRUE.
and the netmon daemon recycled after that.

Any clues , suggestions ?
