Christian, perhaps your expectation is incorrect. In Netview, serial networks
are drawn
(for some reason) as straight lines between two (or more!) routers. They are
different
from LAN interfaces which are drawn as bubbles, what I think you are calling
link-nets.
This is working as designed. If you double-click on that serial network (the
line) it will
show you a network submap just like the bubble networks. Its properties are the
same,
for the most part, it is just visually different.
There is one other difference. If a router has an ethernet interface on a subnet
with
no other router on it, the network icon is still drawn. But for a serial
network, that
line is NOT drawn (since it has no place to go!). Therefore, to see a line for a
serial
interface on the IP Internet level of the map, you must also discover the router
on the
other end of that line. For this reason, the number of cards under a router will
sometimes
be greater than the number of lines coming out of the router on the top submap.
Under File..Describe Map, you will find an option to have serial networks drawn
with
different kinds of lines (like dashed or dotted), which can sometimes clarify
things,
but there is no option to draw it as a circle.
Cordially,

Subject: Cisco Links
We have just thrown out a bunch of decnis routers and replaced them with new
cisco
routers. All of these routers have linknets configured but only 2 of 8 is
shown on the map
(the linknets, ip-net icon) the others are just directly connected router
<-> router without
the linknet in between.
What I have managed to find out is that all the routers that are not
connected thru a link-net
on the map has more than 1 ethernet adress, the other 2 are just 1 ethernet
adress and 1 serial.
Is there some way to "fix" this so i can get all my link-nets appear on the
map?
