Sorry for the confusion
My question is that: We are currently in the process of changing the NetView 
master IP address only and need to see the best way to update that in order to 
have all Endpoints to be discovered correctly after the IP change. Also, 
NetView Master receives traps fro third party product "WebMethods" via MLMs, 
what do you recommend for both issues?

Regards!
Hany Abadir

Hany,
I have no idea what you are talking about. I answered a question originally to 
Meyos and you jumped in the thread asking something completely different. She 
talked about changing all the IP's(there was no mention of NetView changing 
addresses). Then you asked about changing the snmpd.conf on the endpoints. This 
makes no sense to me. I do not see how all this relates.

What is your question?

Paul
