Paul,

I had another setup as LAB setup where I could see that the same Servers are showing proper Subnet Mask, hence I could conclude that the SNMP configuration is proper.

Please advice.

Santosh

      Santosh,
      Netview gets the mask information from SNMP, we have seen in the
      past
      where the SNMP agent
      was reporting a mask that differed from the one shown in the
      setup of
      the interface. First, look at
      the information being provided by SNMP if it is incorrect there,
      it will
      be incorrect in Netview. If
      this is the case it should be reported to the vendor of the device.
