I don't believe you can.   There is no need to.  As far as I know, if the 
box does not respond to an SNMP query with the appropriate community name, 
then it will be marked in the object database as not supporting SNMP. And 
then it will only be pinged for status, until the daily config check (to 
see whether the SNMP agent has been installed /configured) or until you do 
a demand poll.

[nv-l] ICMP only






Hi All,
         I know you can tell Netview to do snmp only with the $ symbol, 
can
you tell Netview to do ICMP only?

Thanks, Dave
