Sebastian, I don't know what exactly you are trying to do, but
I have a suspicion that you might be able to do it if you approach it
from the interface level rather than from the node level. See the sample
interfaces.format file. There are examples in there of running a search
against interfaces, but referring to attributes of the parent node - such
as the IP Hostname. This makes all sorts of things possible.

Cordially,

Subject:  [NV-L] topM interface list



hi,
i got a problem with some data in netview database which stops me doin'
some
cool reports about wide area network.
so, dns contains names of serial routers interfaces which are different
than
netview has got in the database for instance:
        213             TopM Interface List             "Serial2/1.106 Up
172.16.254.189  255.255.255.252 <None> Frame Relay"

"Serial2/1.110 Up  172.16.253.189  255.255.255.252 <None> Frame Relay"
dns : 172.16.254.189 wan_m_ho1_101
         172.16.253.189 wan_m_ho1_102
i would like to replace this serial names for dns entry pointed to these
values. if it would be only one entry it's not a problem to use nvdbimport
command but there are few (in my case up to 20). i'm waitin' for every
suggestion and solution:-)!
