Re: RE: ovwdb filling up with objects

["Leslie Clark" <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Objects 270,272,and 272 are variations on 252. If you find the one called
netview:en0
in the map, and do a Tools..Display Object Info, you will see which of
those is actually
in use. Maybe all of them, if your machine has more than one interface
whose ifDescr
is en0.

This other stuff....
1023411                        "01023410"
730035                         "0730034"
581798                         "0581797"
465328                         "0465327"
402401                         "0402400"
60387                          "0"
is an example of the 'zero network' problem that was discussed here as
well. This
can happen when Netview detects an interface with an address of zero,
usually
on a Bay device. It properly refuses to draw it, but builds up some
garbage. There
is an efix to make netmon ignore it more effectively.

Generally things with sequence numbers appended to the Selection Name are
a little suspicious. They are normal in the case of secondary addressing,
however.
They are also a good indicator of things that are getting deleted and
recreated
repeatedly, which should be investigated.

I get a lot of "stange" entries with ovobjprint -s

How should I interperet entries like:

                  273                    "netview:en2"            This is

                   271                    "netview:en0282"             ?
                   270                    "netview:en0281"             ?
