Hi Chris,
please have a look into Tivoli NetView ReleaseNotes V7.1 at pages 17 and 18
"Location Sensitive Topology" - "Auto-Placement of Routers".
I think you will find the answer there (I don't want to copy it into this
Mail) .

Regards,
Hendrik

What would happen if I only placed subnets in the proper location
containers?   I did not add any gateway entries into the seedfile.   Would
netview place the routers to the closest point of the subnet?
