Reggie, I suspect that the information you seek would be considered
intellectual capital by Tivoli. If you are having a specific problem, then
people can usually help you with that, but otherwise, how the code
works is, I am sure, proprietary.

Cordially,

Subject:  [NV-L] Netview discovery process





Hello Netview Users

I have searched the list for a detailed explaination of the Netview
(netmon) discovery process but could not find anything detailed enough.
Does anyone have any documentation w.r.t this process .i.e. how does the
netmon daemon go about discovering a network. I require specific details
such as : does/how it uses pings, snmpgets, looks at routing tables, arp
caches, order of the discovery process etc.

Thanks in advance for all assistance.

Regards
