You can force the discovery of a node by a particular interface by
putting that interface in the seedfile, deleting it, and rediscovering. The
node will be labeled by the interface it is found by. Alternatively, it
will be labeled with the name that that address resolves to. In fact,
you could put the same name in the hosts file for every address on
the device, and then it would not matter which interface it was found by,
since all would result in the same label. That's all it is, a label. The
'primary' address, ie the one it was found by, does become significant
when you are dealing with non-default community strings or other functions
within Netview that then resolve that name back to an address. The reason
things get discovered by their serial interfaces is that that is usually
the
one closest to Netview. The seedfile can force discovery by another
address.

Subject: [NV-L] Cisco' s label is not correct
Hi at all .
I have this problem. I have a 7206 cisco router connected to a LAN with a
IP
address 10.117.y.y .
This cisco has many serial interfaces, connected to remote routers. Every
interface has a IP address,
in the range 10.118.x.x, with netmask 255.255.255.252 (point to point).
Netview, connected on another my LAN, is able to locate this cisco 7206,
but
NV6 creates an icon
with label 10.118.x.x (one of serial interface), and not with label
10.117.y.y
.
I wish to have right label, because I'm sure that LAN inteface works always
good,
while serial interface goes down sometime.
How can I force this situation?
any help is appreciate .
PS: I use netview6000 v 5.1.1 on AIX 4.2.1,
Dimitri
