A location is a location is a location.
That is, there was not a new type of location symbol added to V6 to make
location-sensitive topology work. So if your cut and paste isn't working, then
I would have to guess that there is probably something wrong with it -- that
what you are adding is not at the same level as the other items in that
location.
I don't really have a clue how to tell you to troubleshoot this. My only advice
would be to take a small section of one of these failing paste operations, and
do a delete from all submaps instead, and ovstop netmon Then add the proper
text to locations.conf, ovstart netmon, let these things get re-discovered, and
see where they get added. Not what you wanted I know.
Since this is a very new feature, you will probably have to learn how it works
the hard way. There won't be a lot of users out there with more expertise than
you have.

Subject: [NV-L] location.conf in NV6
I have used location.conf to setup my layout - great idea guys - thanks!
However......
If I then cut and paste routers into my location.conf- defined
Locations, they go into the user plane - bad news! I thought these
location.conf locations were supposed to be exactly the same as
hand-created ones?
Strange thing is, the first time I did this, the paste worked and my
router was in the app. plane as desired. I've blitzed the whole
database after ovtopofix'ing didn't help - router paste's still go inthe
User Plane (yes, the router has interfaces such that it should connect
to the networks in the Location).
Please guys - don't tell me this is working as designed!
Thanks, Jane
