Subject: Antw: [NV-L] NetView not deleting interfaces on router which
have been reconfigured and are not active
It seems as if it "works as designed". All Netview-Versions I know (since
4.x) have this behavior. First I thought it's a bug, but what if an
interface-board is "dead"? Netview might get the answer from an demand-poll
to this device that "the interface is no longer there" and remove the Icons
instead of turning them red... not very nice, eh?
Removing them manually isn't such a big thing. But there really is a big
problem if you move ip-addresses on the fly: remove the address from one
router and configure the same address on another router. The netview ping to
this address will still be answered (from another router, thought!) and
netview will never remove the address from the first router, so your map
will not reflect the actual network layout! Very hard to deal with, if the
guys (or girls ;-)) who are moving the addresses forget to tell you about.

Hello All,
Has anybody run across this problem?
Two router ports have been reconfigured and they are not active..
Interfaces shows up with old ip address and NetView thinks that they are
down. So it marks them red in map. Shouldn't NetView delete those interfaces
from map if they don't have ip addresses assigned?
Since we are in a transition mode from OpenView to NetView, We still
have OpenView system which does get reed of those interfaces.
Thanks in advance
