Hello,
I have a node with the selection name of 10.13.0.85544; it seems that
an object id is appended to the ipaddress. I have a similar situation with a
different node. When I do a display object info it has on the IP Hostname
the correct name of the device but the field for selection name is the ipaddress
+ objid. BUT, the icon on the IP Internet map is the hostname (not
the selection name)
SELECTION NAME --> 10.13.0.812345
SYMBOL/ICON NAME -->node1
IP HOSTNAME--> node1.tlc.state.tx.us
IP NAME--> node1.tlc.state.tx.us
SNMP IP address --> 10.13.0.8
Has anyone else seen this? I havent tried to delete and rediscover..

Alan,
You give us your forward DNS entried
but not the reverse DNS. My bet
would be that your reverse DNS files
have 172.22.97.69 resolving back to
ciml34001 ?? I would check that
with nslookup from your NetView system.
Remember NetView generally starts
with IP addresses, not names. You
have emphasised this by putting
172.22.97.69 in your seedfile. The
first thing NetView will try and do
is ping that address. If it works,
it will try and resolve the address
to a name via DNS. If it gets a
name, that will be used as the
Selection Name key field in the NetView
object database.
Can you
actually ping that loopback address? I'm not sure precisely how
the
algorithm works, but if NetView can't ping the loopback it may end
up
pinging interfaces it CAN reach and then the DNS step will kick in on
the
first interface that got a successful ping response - which looks
like it
might be your ethernet interface.
Cheers,
Jane
