Jane,
The permissions are Ok, just like you described on your email.
I have kind of a new scenario though: some routers are showing with the
proper symbol at the IP Internet map and submaps, but inside the SmartSet
they show as Computer (plain square). Also, they are green (online) at the
IP Internet maps and inside the SmartSet they are light blue (unknown).
The only difference between these objects is that it looks like they are
being handled as different objects. The objects in the Smartsets are shown
with the full qualified name (name.xxxx.com) and the objects in the IP
Internet maps/submaps (with the proper symbol) are not. But they are the
same, or should be anyway ...
However, this behaviour does not explain why the routers and switches in
the IP Internet, which are properly represented, are not appearing in the
SmartSets.
Maybe this full name/short name thing have something to do with what is
happening.
Thank you so far for your help.
Mario
