Christopher,
ONE of the means by which netview determines a device to be a router is
if it has the ipforwarding mib value to true
(1).
Disabling routing may turn it to false.
Have
you then tried itsa's importoid command?

switches
Greetings all,
The subject is ominous but here is my
situation.
We haev some Alcatel
5024's. These devices by default have some built in routing capabilites.
As such they contain a routing table where populated or not it is still
there, however these devices are trully only being used as a layer2
switch; but Switch Analyzer is not recognizing them as such. The reason
I found out from Magnum is that One of the means by which netview determines a
device to be a router is if it contains a routing table. Well the moment
it finds the table ont hese devices it calls it a router and switch analyzer
will not attempt to do any layer2 discovery on it. My question is, is there a way to override
Netviews discovery and force these devices to show as layer2 devices only?
In the oid_to_type this particular device is listed as a HB (Hub Bridge)
with no mention of G(gateway).
Thanks Chris Petrina
