After updating oid_to_type you need to stop netmon, run a ovtopofix -a
     -o <sysObjectId you just updated> and restart netmon or just wait for
     the next configuration poll by netmon.

I am looking for a way to reset this "vendor" field via the parameters
defined in the oid_to_type file.  I want to avoid rediscovery of the node,
however, to do this.  We have several devices that need to go from "Unset"
to "Cisco Systems".  Is this possible?

Joe

So see the man page for nvdbimport.

This is used to output field values, not reset field values of existing
devices according to definitions defined in /usr/OV/fields/C/ directory.

See nvdbformat man page.

Is there anyway to reset the "vendor" NV field without rediscovering the
device and without having to reset each node manually via the GUI?
