Netview 7.1.4 AIX 5.2

I think this has been asked before:

Why do we receive multiple UP/DOWN events from one trap..

The logs on the switch or the device do not show that it went down
multiple times. Usually we get 3 up/down  traps (which we question as
well) but this particular time it we received 4 up/down traps. 

The only application we run on this server is Netview. It's a big box
(H70 w/ 2 cpus). 

A Quick reply. is appreciated. I have management breathing down my neck
for an explanation.
