See my response to Paul. You might want to consider dumping a list
of those nodes and manufacturing a seedfile that excludes them by
range. For instance, do you have a handle on your DHCP ranges?

Subject:  Re: [NV-L] Events from unmanaged nodes



I do not know why, but on NetView 6.01 for NT, with one single map
(default)
existing, I created a Smartset for 'isSNMPSupported'='False', unmanaged the
thousands of workstations, and STILL saw interface up/down events from
them.

In my AIX seedfile I have as the last statement @oid 1.3.6.1.* which avoids
these workstations even getting into the databases, but this does not work
on
NT. I really hope someone can tell me I'm wrong about this, as in the end I
had
to resort to turning off discovery and deleting the w/s - that stopped the
pinging!
