Greetings to the List,
 
I'm hoping someone here can help me with a problem I'm having rediscovering
a reconfigured Cisco 7500 router.
 
The IP addresses on the token ring and ethernet interfaces were swapped; old
token ring addresses are now ethernet and old ethernet addresses are now
token ring.  The interfaces were not shut down during the swap.  After the
swap a new icon for this router appeared in the "New Object Holding Area"
while the original icon remained in the original submap.  I deleted the
original icon/object from all submaps and now NetView refuses to rediscover
this router.  I also deleted the "old" networks this router was attached to.
These networks were rediscovered immediately and with the correct topology
symbols.
 
Hosts and seedfile were updated during the swap.  I can snmpwalk, ping and
telent to the router, but nmdemandpolling by name or IP address skips saying
the node is not found.
 
Multiple ovtopofix -A and ovtopofix -r 's with netmon & ipmap stopped, seem
to have no effect.  Ovtopofix -A does report a lot of "Cleaning up
Interface" on this router.
 
Ovobjprint -s lists limited information about this router.  Is there a way I
can purge all references to the router from tha databases, or what else
should I try?
 
This is NetView 5.1.3 on AIX 4.2.1.
 
Thanks in advance!
