YES!! That is exactly what I am looking for!

I currently have a server collection and a router
collection that I assume I would use to determine
which is the server trap and which is the router trap?

My problem is that I have 60+ servers each with thier
own router. How can I tell NetView which router goes
to which server without creating 60 collections for
comparison?

The below example seems like it would reset a server
trap with any router trap it receives, not necessarily
one in the same network with the server.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding how the reset on match
works?


Thanks

Jan
