Re: [nv-l] incorrect symbol type

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Symbols are determined by the /usr/OV/conf/C/oid_to_sym
file.  If all the devices return the same system Object Id, then they
should all have the same symbol.  If they don't respond when queried,
they may get a default.   You can add entries to oid_to_sym if some
are returning a different oid, but you would have to delete and re-discover
them.  Symbols are set at discovery time only.

Subject	[nv-l] incorrect symbol type

Q1:   I have 10 Cisco Routers all almost identical to one another
I have them placed in the seed file these are new devices,   when
I start netmon with the seedfile (-s)  it finds all the Cisco devices,
HOWEVER it only marks about half of them with the proper symbol.  
Even though when I look at them in the objects database they all show the
same attributes as far as connector =TRUE Router = TRUE ,etc.   is
there a reason it is only placing the symbol and about half of them?  
Or is this more of a PMR thing.  One little note (which I hate to
put here) is that  these are EVPN routers.   They have an ACL
that allows me to get to the loopback address of them, I have the Read
Only Community string.  I can read all the information I want about
them through the mib browser.
