Re: [nv-l] lcoation.conf 7.1.4

I have seen some unexpected errors like that in 7.1.4. It happened when I did have a mistake, but then corrected it. The error did not go away until I flushed and rediscovered. I have not re-tested the scenario, so I have not contacted support. 

I am not aware of any heirarchic relationship between different symbols of the same class, although they are often used that way. I think Site2 is the prettiest one, and generally use it for all levels of the map. 

Another hint: Using '0' as a placeholder will, in some networks, cause unexpected groupings. Often there are networks between unnumbered interfaces, and the address is '0.0.0.0'. If you use 0 for a placeholder, they will be placed in one or the other of those locations. I always use '255' as the placeholder for this reason. 

Cordially,

Chris,
 
The first entrance in your location file, which is MidWest, should be a different (and greater) kind of container, like State or City. You cannot have a parent container of the same kind of a child container. Try this:
 
MidWest 0 State
OH 0 City MidWest 
KY 0 City MidWest 
IN 0 City MidWest 
WV 0 City MidWest 

Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH 
Dayton 10.x.x.x. Site OH 
Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH 

HTH.

here is a small example of my location.conf 

MidWest 0 Site 
OH 0 Site MidWest 
KY 0 Site MidWest 
IN 0 Site MidWest 
WV 0 Site MidWest 

Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH 
Dayton 10.x.x.x. Site OH 
Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH 


OK that seems simple enough right?  Should create a container in OH called Dayton.   Since OH is already defined in MidWest.   

I keep receiving the following error though. 

location.conf[409]: Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH 
     Unknown parent location: 'OH', parent entry must occur before child 

any ideas.
