Re: [nv-l] location.conf question

I think you misinterpreted the documentation slightly. The zero address
is the means of creating a nested location symbol. The zero specification
does not prevent the addition of networks by later entries in the
location.conf file. It allows the advance specification of the location
symbol and its submap and letting later entries define the content of the
location submap.
In your case you will have a master symbol BAROCC on the IP Network
submap. That will contain three location symbols. BABackbone submap
will have the BA-ROCC-10Nets location symbol and the icons for devices
in the two 10.108.x.x networks. BA-ROCC-10Nets submap will contain
the icons for devices in the 10.1.x.x networks.
In your example, the "BABackbone 0" line really isn't necessary but you would
have to put the two BABackbone 10.108.x.x entries ahead of the BA-ROCC-10Nets
entries to make it work. The zero entry allows you to follow the rule "define
a symbol before you use it".
I use the style of definitions you have shown here since it more clearly
defines what you are doing.

Netview for AIX 7.1.1 - AIX 4.3.3
Hi all,
I have following statements in my location.conf:
BAROCC 0 City
BABackbone 0 Site3 BAROCC
BIBackbone 0 Site3 BIROCC
CHBackbone 0 Site3 CHROCC
BA-ROCC-10Nets 10.1.240.0 Site3 BABackbone
BA-ROCC-10Nets 10.1.32.0 Site3 BABackbone
BABackbone 10.108.0.0 City BAROCC
BABackbone 10.108.112.0 City BAROCC
Netveiw documentation tells me that if I use 0 in AddressPattern field (as I
have in my symbol BABackbone), then no networks should exist under this
symbol. As can be seen from the above statements, I am specifying 10.108.0.0
and 10.108.112.0 networks under this symbol. This should not work if my
interpretation of the Netview documentation is correct. I am unable to
verify this as my map is almost unreadable and undecipherable. So my
questions are: Would this work? If not, can I replace the 0 in
AddressPattern with something else so I am able to specify networks as well
as sub-symbols / sub-containers? Thanks.
Cheers,
Fawad Qureshi
