I guess there is two parts, and I am not fully aware of which one you
are having problems with.

1.  Cisco devices can be configured to send alarms to a management
station when certain events occur.

2.  NetView can be configuerd so that a device is managed and polled
using some specific interval.  When NetView determines a device is not
responding, it will send a trap to itself of a device being down.

Which one are you having problems with?

Thanks,

I suppose this switch really is down?  There's no redundant routing 
around such that NetView can actually ping this switch??
The other thing to check is how frequently NetView is status polling 
this switch - use Options -> SNMP Configuration.  You can also check 
poll times using netmon -a 12 to dump the ping list to 
/usr/OV/log/netmon.trace and netmon -a 16 to dump the SNMP poll list.
Cheers, Jane
