Laszlo,
It is
in File - Describe Map... - select IP
Map then - Configure for this map... it is an option
towards the bottom
(Extract from Help)
Should IP Map
override user symbol customization?
By default, the ipmap application
sets symbol characteristics based upon whatever is correct. Symbol type (shape
and bitmap), symbol label, and symbol status source are all updated by the ipmap
application at regular intervals, even if you have customized those attributes.
If you do not want
ipmap to override your map customizations of the above listed symbol
characteristics, change this option to False.

Good idea. Where
should I set it?

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?

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
