Re: [nv-l] More location.conf questions...

Leslie,

I guess the important requirements for Netview were left out of that.  I was stating how we get our information about devices.  It is an imperfect means of data but it is the closest thing we have to a central repository of devices.

 For Netview and location.conf details though here is what I want to Accomplish:

The top layer IP Internet Map of Netview consists of Regions: MIdwest, NorthEast, International, etc.  Each are a Container that holds states/countries. Each state/country is also a location container that houses city location containers.   Each City name is a site. In each site I want that local sites LAN to be mapped.  from the border router that is the WAN/LAN device as top device and then all the segments and switches and networks within the site itself are all in that city container.   My WAN links are the biggest issue for tying sites together.   They ahve to basically come back to the HQ site in Dayton, Ohio (Which is a container in the State of Ohio,which is a container in the Region of Midwest).  Should I be placing my WAN networks between the containers? And at what level?  There are far too many of them to put on the Top IP Internet map.  It causes the Map to be very hard to understand. &nb!
 sp; However if I place them incorrectly, accorrding to location.conf rules then I do not get the desired results I am looking for.


Thanks
