nvsniffer is not available in UNIX until NetView V5.1.  It was available in
the NT version at 5.0

If you are a registered IBM/Tivoli customer you should have received your
copy of NetView V5.1 by now.  If not, please call your Tivoli marketing
representative.

     Any possibility you could shed some more light on the nvsniffer tool?
     I can't seem to find it on my version (5.0) nor any mention of it in
     my documentation (which is admittedly skimpy since I inherited this
     system).

     Id this a baseline version tool or is it part of some add on or maybe
     only available in after 5.0?

     Thanks for the help.

Hi everybody,

I just want to know if there is an undocumented feature for the nvsiffer
tool.

My understanding of nvsiffer is that nvsniffer can only scan the nodes
that are
in the objet database of netview.

I would like to be able to scan nodes or ip address from a config file.
Of course the nodes that I want to put in the config file are not in the
netview database.

Is there a way to do this with nvsniffer?
If not do you know a tool that do like nvsniffer?

thanks in advance for any replies
