I had the same problem in a Netview for NT ver 5.1.1, the only way I found
to solve this problem was
1- create a seed file for the discover with only the loopback address of
the router
2-  instruct netmon only discover nodes in the seed
3 - when the things were ok, I remove the seed and tell netmon to discover
the rest of the world.

I have a Netview 5.1.1 in an AIX 4.3.2 and this problem never occours.

This usually means that SNMP is not working on this box or that you have
the
wrong community name for it in xnmsnmpconf.
I would check that first.  It is by SNMP that NetView knows that these
multiple
interfaces are on a single host.  Another thing to consider is perhaps name
resolution.  If the addresses do not resolve to the correct name then the
SNMP
queries will fail.

Subject:  Multiple router symbols




Hi All

I have Netview AIX 5.1 on AIX 4.2.1
The problem I have is when netview discovers a router it creates a symbol
for the loopback address which is in the host table and then creates router
symbols for the interfaces.

If should create a symbol with the name of the loopback address and when
double clicking on to the router you should see the interfaces, but this is
not the case and we are seeing multiple routers instead of just one.

Please could someone help to resolve this issue.

Thanks
