The 8272, if it has two IP addresses, should appear on the top level map,
with connections to two different subnet symbols - unless both are on the same
subnet. Then, in the subnet submap (double click on the network symbol) it
should be connected to a segment representing the particular type of interface
protoco on that subnet. The bus symbol is the default used for interfaces which
return, via snmp, a type of 'other' (0) as well as several other types of
interfaces.
So you might have two different segment symbols in the same subnet, or in two
different subnets, with the same device on them. For example one fiddi and one
tokenring. I've probably confused you, but my point was just that the choice
of symbol used for a segment is based on the integer returned by the device
for a query of the ifType, and that the bus symbol does not always mean
ethernet.
In 5.1.1 there is new control over this in the /usr/OV/conf/C/if_to_sym file.
Cordially,

Subject: 8272 in a wrong way
Does anyone found this incorrect situation?
I have discovered a device 8272/108 Switch IBM (Token Ring) which
belonging to one IP net already present in my Netview.
I think it should be connected to the round symbol of NET Token Ring
already present but, instead of this,
another symbol (Bus symbol) was created and 8272 linked to it.
This 8272 has two different IP addresses for two different domains.
Only one of these addresses is belong to the IP net.
Is this an incorrect situation or I wrong something?
How can I resolve this topology problem?
thank you very much
