I would delete this router from the NetView map and databases. Ensure it has been removed completely from all databases. Then re-discover to see if the behaviour on discovery is the same. You may want to turn on full netmon tracing (netmon -M -1) during this process and save the netmon.trace and its backup, along with the trapd.log in case you need assistance from NetView Support.

Netview 7.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3

Nmdemandpoll and ping are successful from the Netview server (server1) to a router, but snmpwalk fails. Router is behind a firewall. All snmp parameters are set correctly on the router, including the access list. Another Netview server (server2) sitting on the same subnet as the router is able to snmpwalk the router fine.

Ovobjprint on the router from server1 shows (among other things):

14 OVW Maps Exists 1
15 OVW Maps Managed 1

57 SNMPAgent Unset(0)

82 IP Status Normal(2)

85 isIPRouter FALSE

112 vendor Unset(0)

124 isNode TRUE

126 isComputer TRUE

127 isConnector FALSE

128 isBridge FALSE

129 isRouter FALSE

[notice the SNMP Agent Unset(0) and isRouter FALSE fields]

Ovobjprint on the router from server2 shows (among other things):

14 OVW Maps Exists 1
15 OVW Maps Managed 1

57 SNMPAgent Cisco Router(3)

82 IP Status Normal(2)

85 isIPRouter TRUE

112 vendor cisco Systems(12)

124 isNode TRUE

126 isComputer TRUE

127 isConnector TRUE

128 isBridge FALSE

129 isRouter TRUE

Before I go jumping on the firewall people, is there something I can try to ensure it is a firewall issue?
