Re: [nv-l] Color change

The status source of a symbol depends
on which symbol it is.   You can see this using the context menu (right-mouse,
Edit..Modify/Describe..Symbol). If the symbol is at the IP Internet level
of the map (top or in a location icon), then the status source is 'Compound
Propogate'. If the symbol is in a subnet, then the status source is symbol.
The status in that subnet reflects the status of the interface that the
device has on that subnet.  So if you have a router with some green
and some red interfaces, then the router symbol will be red in the red
subnets, and green in the green subnets. This should sound familiar. 

Submap heirarcy and the nature of symbols
is covered in the Admin Guide, chapter 3.

Subject	[nv-l] Color change

Sorry, i've looked through the user guide,
the admin guide and the programmers guide and can't seem to find the answer
this - on netview 7.1.4 fp3 for suse linux, I have a router with 3 interfaces
showing as red, why is the router still showing as green?  Is there
a percentage of the router that must be down before it shows as margainal?
 According the user's guide, it just has to have one "unsatisfactory"
condition to be considered margainal.  This is with rfi turned off.

Thanks in advance
