Just wanted to make sure I was clear.

Each top level icon for that given interface should have the same Symbol
Label which will match an entry in /etc/host.

Each interface's node representation should not have different names, they
should all have the same name (since they are the same physical router).

On a side note, I forget how netview determines which hostname to use for
that router.  Last I remember it was arbitrary.

Hope this helps,

If you have 20 interfaces for 1 router, you are going to have 20 top level
icons representing each interface (given each interface to have its own
subnet).

IMO this is desirable.  From a topology standpoint, this will help you to
properly manage your network.

I don't know if it can be done but sure would like a fix.

Is there a means within Netview to discover a device such as a cisco router
by it's name and only display a single icon for it.  In some cases I have
as many as 20 icons for the same router.  I have considered putting them
all in a location icon but that seems like a lot of work with very little
return.

Thanks,
Mike
