Philippe, it's a ^ not a &.

DCF Document ID: 1153918 - IBM Tivoli NetView: Force ICMP status polling for a node
Problem Desc:  For routers with unnumbered serial interfaces netmon will automatically switch from ICMP to SNMP status polling. Under some conditions this isn't desired. How can I force netmon to still use ICMP polling for those nodes?
 
Solution:  In the Seedfile Editor enter the node under the "Exclude" section of "Enable SNMP Status Checking".
This will add an entry with a leading ^ to the seedfile.
But be aware the under this condition netmon can no more determine the status of the unnumbered interface(s).

All,


AIX 4.3.3 + NV 7.1.3 FP 2


I sort of remember that netmon supports entries prefixed with an & sign to mean :

use ICMP only to determine the status of device interfaces.


I could find no contribution about this in the mailing list archives although
I'm quite sure I read something like this in the past.


Is it really the & sign ?


Best regards,

Philippe.
