Deleting is OK if you have small router - 3 to 5 interfaces.
If your router is bigger then that - I would not recommend deleting it at
all.
The problem appears because of the " DNS inverse mapping".
I use to have the problem in my environment ( medium-to-large size network,
single NetView ver 5.1).
You would want IP addressees for the interfaces
on the routers to map inversely into the name of the router.
This will resolve your problem.
Thanks

Delete both of them and Netview will rediscover the router properly. When
Netview detects the new IP address, it does not change the existing object
to reflect the new interface but rather creates a new object for it. The
router will, of course, answer the MIB query with the correct interfaces,
but Netview already had its objects established.

Problem w/ discovery in NetView v5.1 on AIX 4.2.1
Having problem with how NetView is discovering a new Cisco router that is
serially connected to an existing Cisco router. The existing router is
already in the
database, but NetView is creating a new object for him showing the ip
address on his side of the serial connection. So now I have to objects that
are the same router, both
in the application plane and being managed.
If I do an Edit, Modify/Describe, Object and go to IP MAP on existing
router, the interface used on this serial connect (Serial3) doesn't show up
in his interfaces list. I do the same thing on the newly discovered router
(which is physically the same device), only Serail 3 shows up in the
interfaces list.
If I query the generic MIB2 ifDesc varaible
(.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr), I get
the same output for both objects, all interfaces show up.
The only customization (aside from map customization) I've done to IP Map is
to change the "How should serial links be shown?" to dashed.
