This is the line I added to my oid_to_type:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.17:cisco Systems:Cisco Systems Catalyst 5500:B

This is the line I added to my oid_to_sym:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.17:Connector:Bridge #Cisco Systems Catalyst 5500

Of course, you have to delete the object, restart netmon, and have
the object re-discovered again.

Hi Denny,

Can you include the precise details of what you've done - this shouldn't
be hard to fix, but until we know the details we would be indulging in
speculation.  Details needed:-

1. Unique OID identified for the Cisco c5500
2. Verification of snmp response
3. Actual changes made to oid_to_type and oid_to_sym files
4. Subsequent actions taken to make the daemons aware of the
    adjustments to oid_to_type;  and restarts of the GUI to make
    ipmap aware of the new symbol mappings.
5. How you attempted rediscovery of the offending nodes.
6. What makes you think you have a problem.

Regards,
