Hello,

System information:
OS - AIX 5.1
NetView - 7.1.3
FixPack3

We are currently using a Smartset to view Routers that are either down or
unreachable. Here is the Smartset rule:
(('IP Status'='Critical') || ('IP Status'='Unreachable')) &&
('isRouter'=True)

Besides "Critical' and 'Unreachable', we would also like this Smartset to
display routers that send BGP traps to NetView. Is there any way to have an
incoming SNMP trap change the value of 'IP Status', or any other object
attribute? Is this the wrong use of a Smartset?

Thanks.
