In the environment I am working with, it is not possible to do that. All
the devices that I want to see represented on the map as routers are
controlled by a provider that provide the WAN connectivity to every sites
for the customer. We don't have snmp access to any of theses devices and
therefore each remote site is represented as an "Isolated" network on the
map.
We already load theses devices with loadhost just to make sure that the LAN
interface get the proper subnet mask. We don't know the ip of any of the
WAN interfaces of the routers. We just have the IP of the LAN interface
that connect to our LAN. I would like for each site to see that device
represented as a router (ie stick out of the segment on the map) even if it
is present in Netview with only it's LAN interface. That would help the
operator see when the WAN connectivity goes down for the site.

Thanks,

along with Leslie's idea, you also want NetView to discover all the
interfaces on that router.   with SNMP access, NetView would do that
automatically.   Without SNMP access you will want to put all the
interfaces into your netmon seed file.   Do that after you have updated
your /etc/hosts so that they all resolve to the same host name.
