RE: [nv-l] Same device multiple times

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

For the gateway statements to work in the location.conf, the right-hand string must be the Selection Name of the device, in my experience. The address alone won't do it unless that is also the Selection Name. 

Cordially,

Hi,
I'm curious if someone would verify something related to this discussion, the way I understand the documentation wouldn't someone be able to do this in their location.conf file:
 
LOCATION1    192.168.100.1
 
As long as LOCATION1 is previously defined, Netview should place a router with an interface address of 192.168.100.1 into the container LOCATION1, right?  The examples in the location.conf file call this a gateway entry.  The examples indicate that both names and IP addresses are usable for gateway entries, but I remember someone previously saying on this list that only IP addresses are valid in a gateway entry.  In my situation I have 300+ routers that I currently hide from the IP Map that should be in their own container as they are all defined with their respective loopback address as a gateway entry.  Maybe I should use the router name instead?
 
Jason

In order for location.conf to automatically place the router ALL subnets present on the device must be in location.conf container. If you have a router with 5 interfaces say in 4 different subnets (lets assume you have a pair of serial links to another location that are in the same subnet). all 4 of those subnets must be in location.conf container for that physical site. If you miss one subnet in location.conf the icon will float back to the ip internet map.

Correct.   However using a fairly specific Location.conf file.  That device with the same name and ip addresses which shows up correctly in the submap that it should, also keeps showing up on the main IP Internet map.  Now if you are saying that because this device has multiple IP addresses that it will show up wherever that network segment is, then I can understand that and remedy that.

Chris,

NetView places a device on the IP Internet submap, when a device has
multiple IP addresses in different IP subnets.

Me again,

Q1:  Why does entview continually find teh same device multiple times? 
I 
have a device that is already in one submap but it keeps finding it
again 
and placing it ont he IP Internet map.   I have deleted it from that 
submap, I have ran ovtopofix and ovmapcount and even after I delete it

once it is polling time again it just finds it again and places it back
on 
the map again?

Anyone?
