Hi list-members!

We have NetView 7.1.3 Fixpak 2 on AIX 5.1 .
My firewall-colleague complained that our netview-node sends flood-pings to some of their firewalls.
Well we manage these firewalls (they have a snmp-client) and the LANs behind them. The ping couldn't be done by an Operator because it is repeated in a certain time-period (according to the firewall-log).

Could it be that the discovery-process uses flood-pings?
If yes - could it be customized?

Sincerely,
