Symbols are determined by the /usr/OV/conf/C/oid_to_sym file.  If all the devices return the same system Object Id, then they should all have the same symbol.  If they don't respond when queried, they may get a default.   You can add entries to oid_to_sym if some are returning a different oid, but you would have to delete and re-discover them.  Symbols are set at discovery time only.

[nv-l] incorrect symbol type






Q1:   I have 10 Cisco Routers all almost identical to one another I have them placed in the seed file these are new devices,   when I start netmon with the seedfile (-s)  it finds all the Cisco devices, HOWEVER it only marks about half of them with the proper symbol.   Even though when I look at them in the objects database they all show the same attributes as far as connector =TRUE Router = TRUE ,etc.   is there a reason it is only placing the symbol and about half of them?   Or is this more of a PMR thing.  One little note (which I hate to put here) is that  these are EVPN routers.   They have an ACL that allows me to get to the loopback address of them, I have the Read Only Community string.  I can read all the information I want about them through the mib browser.
