Hello Guys,
I have a Cabletron SmartSwitch Router 8000 with 2 VLAN's configured.
I'm using Netview v4.1.2, and the device does not appear in the map.
Each interface appear in object database, but not in topology database.
If I add the device manually, after a while Netview "deletes" the device...
Some suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
