  Federico, then if new node discovery is set to discover new nodes 
every 5 minutes it will do it more often than if we let NV to do it 
when it estimates convinient(at automatic intervals)?
  What is done in autodicovery?, polling the arp table of SNMP 
supporting nodes? routing table?
  In the configuration polling will NV try to SNMP all nodes even those 
that right now does not support SNMP? This qusetion comes from the idea 
that a non-SNMP node could change to support SNMP after it is 
discovered.


Thanks
Inaki
