Jane,
The oid_to_sym file is there and all objects, like AIX boxes, Cisco
devices , APC devices, etc, are defined there as they are supposed to be.
But no device is showing up with the proper symbol at the maps (they all
show up as Computers). There are some routers that are Ok, with the
diamond symbol I mean, but the great majority of them are not.
When using the MIB browser to see the OID, I found out that they are all
correct, so they should be assigned with the correct symbol.
Also, the if_to_sym file is there and all interfaces are displayed with
the proper icon.
This is a very unusual behaviour I think.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
Mario
