Laszlo,

 

Did you set Should IP Map override user symbol customisation? to False and then re-label the symbols?

What I would like to see is either the dns name or the description (free text I entered) for the interfaces. IP address, physical address and interface name does not help our monitoring center to easily identify the problem.

 

My another issue regarding to the name generation is the name of the LAN segments. Netview generates names for these objects very similar to the interfaces. What I can see right now is dns name for the routers (it is good), ip addresses for the connecting lan segments and ip addresses for the interfaces. I tried to rename these symbols to a more descriptive name but within a day netmon changed back the names to the stupid IP address form.

Choose Default, and it will get you the descriptive label, like FastEthernet1/0. Is that what you wanted, or is it the lack of DNS name on interfaces that bothers you?

Cordially,

description, such as Serial0/0/1 if you want. To do that, go to Edit..Modify/Describe..Map and pick the ipmap application. One of the options in there is for changing the labels on interfaces. Change it, ok, ok and they all change. This is an all-or-nothing choice for the whole map.

Those are your choices. You cannot get it to label the interface cards with the DNS name for each address.

I checked this option and only choices I have is IP address, Physical address, Unset, Default. None of them looks useable
L I think design part of netview project always gets a very low priority
