I've been working with V6 this week, and it appears to me that it
will drawn an unnumbered card for just about any interface that appears
in the MIB II Interface table for which there is no entry in the address
table.
And it did this without me coaxing it with entries in the seedfile.
Depending
on the routing table entries it may or may not be able to connect that
interface to something else, but I'm pretty sure it will at least draw the
card and maintain it's status via snmp.

Cordially,

Subject:  [NV-L] Netview 6.0: checking ifOperStatus of a serial interface



I am preparing for a NV for AIX 6.0 upgrade, but don't have it installed
yet. Reading the release notes I see that it is possible now to use SNMP
instead of a PING to check the status of interfaces.
I have many serial interfaces that don't have an IP address at all (SDLC
lines directly attached to Cisco routers). Are they eligible for having
their status reported via SNMP? The manual is not clear about it, as it
keeps referring all along to IP unnumbered lines only.
Thanks, Eli
