I don't mean to be rude, Scott, but
if you are testing, then whom would be better able to answer those questions
than you? Nothing like testing the code yourself to become the expert.
Both those scenarios are a bit off the norm for me and for
anyone else I know. Even the MLM code jockey here said he wasn't
sure about either one, and the second is really about netmon. But
our best guess on both is negative. We could be wrong, however, so
go ahead, test!

AIX 4.3.3 NetView 7.1.3 FP2
I have several MLM's that I am testing with. One is AIX and the others
are
NT. I have a couple of questions about MLM functionality that I didn't
see
covered in the manual although I may have overlooked it.
1. If the MLM has multiple interfaces how will the MLM manage its
networks?
Will it discover only one subnet and if so how do you determine which
interface the MLM will bind to? Or will it discover all subnets it has
interfaces for?
2. If an MLM is polling a subnet and a node in that subnet has 2
interfaces, one on the network with the MLM and another that isn't managed
by the MLM but NetView manages it, will NetView correlate the mlm detected
down event and a NetView Interface Down event into a Node Down event?
Thank You,
