I think the problem is in that Cisco hasn't provided a complete package
which covers the 5500's.  They apparently didn't provide the icons and
oid_to_xxxx things which Netview uses.  Although if you load the 5500
package you can use CiscoView to see the 5500's.  To get around the
Netview issue I copied then edited the 5000 icons and changed them into
5500 icons,  then added the oid of the 5500's to oid_to_sym and
oid_to_type.

Good Luck,
Eddie
