As Paul pointed out, this is the result of an improper cut and paste. You
should only be cutting (not copying) routers and networks at the IP
Internet level of the map, and always choose 'from THIS location', never
'from ALL locations'. And you should only be pasting things into Location
submaps (containers). That way you will never get into trouble. Read more
about this subject:
See: User's Guide Chap 3 Working with maps, Exploring the Submap Hierarchy.
See: AdminGuide Chap 3, Customizing Symbol Placement, and Partitioning
Submaps

You are probably misunderstanding the reason the switch appears where it
does. That switch looks like a single-address device. Those you cannot
move, since they are placed by Netview in the subnet or subnets in which
they belong.  The product will allow you to do a lot more than you should
do. That capability is there to allow you to develop your own network
management applications. To use the applications delivered with Netview
(ipmap, for example) stick to the advice at the top of this note and you
will be fine.

To clean up a 'floater', it is best to delete the node (from ALL submaps)
and rediscover it.

Cordially,

It probably means you don't have SNMP access to the switch, so all the
interfaces resolve to separate nodes.
