You say that the IP Subnet Mask field is correct. That must be on the
Interface
object, since nodes don't have that field. And the TopM Interface List is
on the
Node object. Check the netmon log (/usr/OV/log/netmon.trace) and I suspect
you
will see a notice telling you that the node is in the wrong subnet, and
that you should
delete it and rediscover it. Maybe a demandpoll (Test...Demand Poll) on the
node
will help.

When you added the node, did you edit the IP properties and verify that the
mask was correct? That is the most likely cause for it being wrong in the
first
place. Problems like this are why I prefer the natural discovery over the
manual.
For that, I would suggest setting up a seedfile and putting the node in
there, and
deleting it and letting Netview discover it for itself.

Hey All,
     Solaris 2.6 & Netview 6.0


     I added several cisco (HSRP enabled) 3548 switches to our network
     and hoped they would be automatically discovered.  I was hoping for
     quite some time :0

     i tried to run netcheck, pinging the machine and nothing seemed to
work.
     For automatic object creation.  So I manually created the object
     and it probed the device for snmp information.
     My question is how do I change one of the object fields?
     field# 280 for this object shows the wrong subnet mask so it doesnt
     show up  on the correct sub-map.  The field name is
     "TopM Interface List".  The other field that logs subnet information
      is correct(field name "IP Subnet Mask")

      Any ideas?  Im thinking just edit the field and all will be fine..


      We searched the switches config files and "255.255.240.0" is not
listed anywhere.
