Once NetView discovers a device by one interface he uses SNMP to get the
configuration and learn about other interfaces on that box.  So if you are
seeing duplicate routers with different interfaces on them, then most likely
your router is not responding to SNMP requests.  You should check the community
name among other things.

This information is covered in the NetView Diagnosis manual

Subject:  Duplicate router discovery




Morning all

I've noticed during a large discover of the customer's network that
duplicate routers are being discovered with different interfaces on each.
Why is this happening and how can I remedy the problem?

THX in advance
Steyland
