If you do not want NetView to manage the HSRP interfaces at all, then you
could exclude them from discovery via the seedfile.
Regardless, I don't think it's a very good idea to define a hostname in DNS
or /etc/hosts for the HSRP addresses. These are virtual IP addresses which
can be associated with more than one host. If you really want a hostname
defined for them, then you could try removing the entry from the DNS reverse
lookup file, and make sure it only exists in the forward lookup file.
NetView resolves hostnames mostly through reverse lookups, so hopefully that
will prevent discovery of the unwanted hostname.

Subject: HSRP
Hello
I am running Netview 5.1.2 on AIX. I have set up the
netsvc.conf
member so that it uses the host file followed by DNS. I have added
all
the interfaces for my routers to the host file with all interfaces
on 1
router having the same name. So all interfaces on one router are
wsr-router1, all interfaces on a second router are wsr-router2, etc.
I
did this from following some of the threads in this discussion
group.
However, I also have Cisco's HSRP defined on these interfaces.
When
I rediscover the map, Netview is using one of the HSRP hostnames and
address as the router's name instead of using the interface names.
It
is building an icon with the hostname of the HSRP address of one
interface.
Should I put all the HSRP addresses in the seedfile so they
aren't
discovered. I believe the prefix in the seedfile is !.
Thanks
Raymond
