This may be a clue for you --
at a recent customer site I had some 8275's ( IBM fastethernet desktop
switches) show up with isCard set to true. Not all of them, just some.
Nways 1.2.3 was on. Rediscovery, ovtopofix did not help, and
usually the ovtopofix helps since it does all of that setting if isNode.
I just ran an nvdbimport and set them all to isCard is false. I won't
be back there for a couple of weeks, and will need to investigate
further then. More should have been installed by then, too.
I had AIX 4.2.1, Netview 5.1.2, Nways 1.2.3
Interesting....
Cordially,

Hello,
Here is a problem about which I called Support several weeks ago. It doesn't
seem obvious, but perhaps someone already got through it.
NV 5.1.1 on AIX 4.2.1 + NWays 1.2.1 + Ciscoworks 4.0.
When discovered by NetView, most (but not all) of our routers are stored into
object DB with an abnormal field: 60 - isInterface, which value is set to TRUE.
First consequences: the IPMap description (Edit/Description) is empty (i.e. it
provides the mask you use when adding a new node) and Ciscoworks is unable to
get routers' community names (don't ask me why).
It seems that NWays is involved in that affair (a router is well recorded when
you stop cmld and nvot-server just before discovery), but lab said it was not
the culprit.
Did anyone encounter such a problem?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
