Hello All:

I would like you help me with this:

I need to extract the routers topology tree, I have thought to make an
script that uses traceroute to obtain the tree, but I wonder if there is
any way to obtain the tree from the Netview (The Netview know the
topology).

I have Netview 5.1 with aix 4.21.

I made an example, supose that we have this topology :

N----A----B----C-Lc-Sc
     |    |----D-Ld-Sd
     |
     |----E----F-Lf-Sf
     |    |-Le-Se
     |
     G-Lg-Sg

Where A,B,C,D,E,F are routers; Sx = Server x; Lx = Lan x; and N =
Netview.

I like to obtain the topology tree in this way:

>From A depends: B,E,G
>From B depends: C,D
>From C depends: Sc
>From D depends: Sd
>From E depends: F,Se
>From F depends: Sf
>From G depends: Sg

Any idea will be apprecited.


Thanks and regards,

Sergio Cardona.
