Santosh, this should be pretty simple, unless I misunderstand. Your
location.conf file would look like this:

# These locations only contain other locations.
# The 0 is a placeholder network (255 might be better).
# Site2 is the picture I like best.
West_Region 0 Site2
East_Region 0 Site2
North_Region 0 Site2
South_Region 0 Site2
# These locations are nested in the parent locations above.
# They contain the networks named, multiple records if there
# are multiple networks (or do ranges or wildcards).
# Specify another pretty bitmap, Site, and the parent.
Location1 A.B.C.32 Site West_Region
Location2 A.B.C.64 Site West_Region
Location3 A.B.C.192 Site West_Region
Location4 A.B.C.20 Site East_Region
......
# These are the routers
Location1 router1
Location1 router2
Location1 router3
Location2 router4
Location2 router 5
...

Hello all,

I have NetView 7.1.12 on Solaris 2.7

I have nested network, I want to use location.conf file so that the layout
will be easy to manage. I want to discover network from top level as..

            |-----West Region  -|--Location1------Routers & N/W
            |                |--Location2------Routers & N/W
            |                |--Location3------Routers & N/W
            |
            |-----East Region --|---Location4------Routers & N/W
            |               |---Location5------Routers & N/W
            |               |---Location6------Routers & N/W
            |               |---Location7------Routers & N/W
IP Internet        __|            |--Location8------Routers & N/W
            |               |--Location9------Routers & N/W
            |
            |-----North Region --|---Location10------Routers & N/W
            |                 |---Location11------Routers & N/W
            |                 |---Location12------Routers & N/W
            |                 |---Location13------Routers & N/W
            |
            |-----South Region --|---Location14------Routers & N/W
                              |---Location15------Routers & N/W
                              |---Location16------Routers & N/W
                              |---Location17------Routers & N/W

My network distribution is as follows

      West Region Network     A.B.C.32, A.B.C.64, A.B.C.192
      East Region Network     A.B.C.20, A.B.C.128
      North Region Network    A.B.C.84, A.B.C.96
      South Region Network    A.B.C.140, A.B.C.108   ..................etc

How can I configure my location.conf file in this situation.

Thanx in advance
Regards,
Santosh
