Yes, that is correct. Here is kind of an ASCII view of what we have:
|------------|
------------| Stub site 1|
| |------------|
|
|
|-----------| |-----------| |------------|
| Corporate |-----| Hub site |-----| Stub site 2|
|-----------| |-----------| |------------|
Hub Site Sub-map:
(-----------) |-----------| (------------)
( X.X.X.X )-----| Router |-----( X.X.Y )
(-----------) |-----------| (------------)
Yellow Green Yellow
X.X.X.X Sub-map:
(-----------) |-----------|
( Segment 1 )-----| Router |
(-----------) |-----------|
Yellow Red
Segment 1 Sub-map:
----------------------------------------------------
| |
|-----------| |-----------|
| Router | | Device 1 |
|-----------| |-----------|
Red Green
At the hub site submap, there is a router and two network icons. The router
is Green, the network Icon's are both Yellow. If you drill down into the
router, all the interfaces are Green (no hidden intrfaces at all). If you
drill into either of the network symbols, the router icon is red (same
router as before, drill into it all interfaces are Green) and the network
icon is yellow. Drill down into the network again, the router is still red,
but everything else is green (thus the reason the network was yellow).
As for the Event stream, here is the order of events:
Interface Down for each of the interfaces on Router at hub site
Node Down for hub site
Same for Stub sites and Device 1
Interface up for each of the interfaces on Router at hub site
Node up for hub site
Same for Stub sites and Device 1
Currently, everything is as it should be (everthing that is actually down is
red and everthing that is up is green). I will probably open a problem to
support the next time this happens (since it is currently not happening at
this moment) and see what they say about it.

Subject: Re: Weird map update problem
Ok, you aptly titled this, "Weird map update problem". Let's try and
summarize.
You have two routers, among dozens of other others. The only thing that
distinguishes them is their placement in the network. But sometimes, and
not
all the time, the interfaces will all show as green (up) and you can see
them
that way on the map when you drill down, yet the router icon for the submap
will
be red, even when its interface is green below, and at the higher level all
the
router will show marginal or yellow. Is that right? And demand poll will
not
fix it. Unmanage and re-manage will fix it -- changing the router to
green.
And you have no hidden interfaces, none of them peculiar (they are all IP
addresses and pingable) in any way. Is this all correct?
And you saw Interface up traps for all the interfaces. Right after the last
one
you should see a Node Up for the router. Do you?
Sounds to me like an ipmap problem and I would be formatting the nettl logs
and
running ovtopofix -a to see what kinds of errors got flushed out. But as
for an
easy fix, well that's a different story. I never heard of anything such as
you
describe.
As you might guess, I'm having a hard time visualizing this. I would open
a
problem to Support.
