Ken,
My guess is... that you don't have the OID that the 5500 is reporting
in your "/usr/OV/conf/oid_to_type" file, and/or in your
"/usr/OV/conf/C/oid_to_sym" file.

Determine what OID is  (check the log-file for the error that was
generated), and add this OID to those files.  It should work correctly
then.

Subject: Cisco Catalyst 5500 Switches and NetView V4.1


I have a customer with NetView v4.12 who has several Cisco 5500 switches in
a VLAN configuration.  NetView
is not handling the discovery and mapping of this environment well at all,
Is this an unsupported environment with
NetView V4?  Is it fixed in NetView v5?   Any one with this environment have
comments on using NetView to manage the
5500s?

Thank you,


Ken
