FW: [nv-l] Subnet Mask discovery problem

[z_esm_karekars <z_esm_karekars@bharatpetroleum.com>]

Paul,

I had another setup as LAB setup where I could see that the same Servers are showing proper Subnet Mask, hence I could conclude that the SNMP configuration is proper.

Please advice.

Regards,
Santosh

Santosh,
Netview gets the mask information from SNMP, we have seen in the past
where the SNMP agent
was reporting a mask that differed from the one shown in the setup of
the interface. First, look at
the information being provided by SNMP if it is incorrect there, it will
be incorrect in Netview. If
this is the case it should be reported to the vendor of the device.
