Re: [nv-l] mapping non ip devices using snmpget (maybe oid_to_command)?

The next step is to add the device to the map manually. Netview will not discover something it cannot ping. If you add it, though, it will take it from there using SNMP to complete the discovery, and then do the regular status and configuration polling via SNMP. You can add manually via the GUI, or you can use the loadhost command. If you use the gui, check the online help. If you use loadhost, see the man page.

All,
The problem is to have NetView auto discover the device using the $snmpget and future similar devices and add the xxmap. At this time it is not performing this operation.
I am attempting to understand the gtmd and noniptopod in order to manage a device for node up that does not support icmp. The device does support snmp and I can walk and get against the device with no problems. The device does return ifadminstatus and ifoperstatus as UP, which I thought I read to be expected for this type of management.
Since the walk does return the expected status I have not loaded the device specific mibs as of yet.
The way it is configured at this time is;
added to xnmsnmpconf with the correct snmp names.
location.conf has been updated so the device will map there
seed file has the entry $192.168.1.1 for snmp status checking
What do I do next?
Although ovstatus shows all gtmd and other daemons are running and well behaved. The noniptopod is NON_WELL_BEHAVED
