It can be done (not sure how with smartsets though).  The theory being when a 
BGP trap arrives, set a certain status or set some other attribute.  However, 
when do you toggle the other way?  Meaning, after what interval do you want a 
router to be removed from the smartset?

Subject: [nv-l] using SNMP trap to change object attribute


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.
