All,
we are having a few issues regarding Netview and modelling of Nortel equip,
especially the Passport 8600 series.
These devices can operate as either a layer2 switch only, and/or perform a
routeing function.
NV seems to be confused on how to show these devices and is displaying them
all as routers even though they are only performing a layer 2 function in
the network (a small percentage also perform a routing function, therefore
we cannot make a blanket change in oid_to_type).
These devices are then either removed from the map and re-discovered
daily/weekly(intermittently) etc, or duplicated on the map.
Has anyone some ideas on how I can resolve this?

PS we are having similar issues with Cabletron equip.
