What I do is a pretty simple but I don't have a sample script.
Given a list of nodes, use a simple script or commandline awk to
produce a file with a record like this for each node:

rnetstat -I <nodename> | grep -v Network | awk '{print "<nodename> " $4}'

Then run that file and capture the output. That $4 returns all of the
networks to
which the node belongs. That parm on rnetstat is a capital i. A very useful
command.  If you have a list mapping routers to sites and maybe parent
site,
you can modify the record above to produce the exact update record for the
location.conf.

(I do it this way because I don't know how to run an awk with a variable in
it.)

Warning: this approach, with no wildcards, can lead you over the 1000
record
max. In that case, in V6, be sure to get the patch from Support and follow
the
instructions for enabling large location.conf files.

Cordially,

Um, what am I missing? Isn't this what NETMON does? I populates a database
with information about the interfaces?

I am trying to automate much of my map layout using the location.conf file.
Unfortunately all I have been given is a list of loopback addresses for
about 700 routers and another list of hubs/switches.  Has anyone out there
written a script that will read a file (say netmon.seed) and poll each IP
listed and return a list of configured/enabled/up interfaces along with
their IP, network number, and mask?  I would imagine this would be a useful
tool so hopefully someone has already done this.  Any pointers would be
appreciated.
