Re: [NV-L] Network:Frame Relay - problem / solution

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

I would not expect this to be a problem
on 7.1.5 unless you migrated from an earlier release. In earlier releases
 we had to make that update (as well as the one in if_to_sym to recognize
type 32 as Frame Relay) but in the new 7.1.5 system that I installed recently,
I was delighted to see that it was already done. At least I thought I saw
that it was already done. So was yours a migration?

Subject	[NV-L] Network:Frame Relay - problem / solution

I am building NV7.1.5 on a new AIX5.3 server.
I have around 900 Frame Relay network symbols
in my new object holding area.
My Frame Relay networks are all IP. (Aren't
they all?)
 
Problem:
NetView v7.1.5 now recognizes Frame Relay
networks. 
However they are not registered as IP networks
and therefore cannot be cut/pasted into a Location.
If you try, They are placed on the User Plane.
 
Solution:
Edit the /usr/OV/symbols/C/Network registration
file.
Copy the Capabilities section from the "IP
Network" clause to the "Frame Relay" network clause, as
indicated below.
This will add isIP=1 which is what is required
for a symbol to be placed under a Location.
Then run ovw_configure to re-read this symbol
registration file.
I also deleted and rediscovered the Frame
Relay networks.
 
----------------------------------------------------------
 
SymbolType "Network" : "Frame
Relay"
{
        Filebase "fr";
        CursorSize 38;
 
        Capabilities
{
                isIP = 1;
        }
}

Hope this helps someone,
