Jason,

I assumed that if we set attribute 'IP Status', then it would get reset the
next time NetView polls the device. If we set another attribute, then I
assume we will have to reset manually, or use a clearing trap to reset the
attribute. Can an attribute be set to clear after a certain period of time?

How would you suggest that we do this?

Thanks.

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?

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.
