Marcos,

When I have an new object discovered that is in fact a duplicate of an existing
object, I always check the subnetwork mask of the object. In our environment
this is usually the cause. If a device gets setup with the wrong mask, anomilies
show up in NetView in the areas of map placement and re-discovery.

I do have one router that continually re-discovers as a duplicate resource. All
the masks are set correctly, so this is not always the problem. I plan to open a
problem with support when I get a chance.

Hope this helps,

Dear

Anyone could explain what causes the re-appearance (re-discovery) of a
resource if it is already in database (topology and object) ?
We are observing the re-discovery of some objects besides they are already
modeled on both databases and located on some views (maps)
What could be wrong in our environment ?

TIA
