RE: [nv-l] Creating location.conf from a NetView Map - new contributed code

well I guess an example would help.  ON the IP INTERNET MAP I have a container called HQ.  it is surrounded by regions under the regions containers I have states, under those I have containers called Cities (multiple city containers put state).  On this map (the one with mulitple cities) is where I have my WAN segments I placed themt ehre by hand, because otherwise it would fill up my entire IP Internet map and make it unuseable.  When I runt he build_location.conf I do not see those WAN segments under those containers.



"Garden_Grove"                 gdc-rtr-v2
"Garden_Grove"                 gad-rtr-v1
"Garland"                              10.231.23       "Site"
"Garland"                              gar-rtr-v1
"Garner"                               day-rtr-s1

Small sample of the lcoation.conf the device names are routers at their particular cities.  the 10.231.23 is a segment.   It is the only segment that shows up in the whole location.conf file.

If you placed the subnet in a container, your location.conf should match that. Is your experience different?

This is actually a very helpful script for the most part.    The only thing I ahve noticed is that it does not collect subnets and place them into containers.  ut other then that what I have been using it for is after I have custom put all my devices into their proper containers, I use the build_location.pl to create a copy of my location.conf incase something should happen and I need to wipe out my map it is a very good beginning step to getting back the map graphically.
