I have seen some unexpected errors like that in 7.1.4. It happened when I did have a mistake, but then corrected it. The error did not go away until I flushed and rediscovered. I have not re-tested the scenario, so I have not contacted support.

I am not aware of any heirarchic relationship between different symbols of the same class, although they are often used that way. I think Site2 is the prettiest one, and generally use it for all levels of the map.

Another hint: Using '0' as a placeholder will, in some networks, cause unexpected groupings. Often there are networks between unnumbered interfaces, and the address is '0.0.0.0'. If you use 0 for a placeholder, they will be placed in one or the other of those locations. I always use '255' as the placeholder for this reason.

Cordially,

Chris,
 
The first entrance in your location file, which is MidWest, should be a different (and greater) kind of container, like State or City. You cannot have a parent container of the same kind of a child container. Try this:
 
MidWest 0 State
OH 0 City MidWest

KY 0 City MidWest

IN 0 City MidWest

WV 0 City MidWest


Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH

Dayton 10.x.x.x. Site OH

Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH


HTH.

here is a small example of my location.conf


MidWest 0 Site

OH 0 Site MidWest

KY 0 Site MidWest

IN 0 Site MidWest

WV 0 Site MidWest


Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH

Dayton 10.x.x.x. Site OH

Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH



OK that seems simple enough right?  Should create a container in OH called Dayton.   Since OH is already defined in MidWest.  


I keep receiving the following error though.


location.conf[409]: Dayton 10.x.x.x Site OH

    Unknown parent location: 'OH', parent entry must occur before child


any ideas.
