By CSS are you talking about Cisco content switch? Most likely you have
Nat'd addresses for the interfaces. I believe you would need CNAT to
discover them completely and correctly. I have this issue too but we're
getting rid of them so I haven't moved forward with CNAT.

Also the "management" interface doesn't show up in the interface table.
My situation only works because I do NOT use the management interface as
the one I discover the box with. Also the NetView servers in my network
are statically NAT'd and that maybe why my icons stay green. Can't
remember all the details on this.

Subject: [nv-l] Unreachable CSS objects, wierd.

Hi

For aboute 2 days ago, something just happend by it self. I 
started to get some larms on two CSS objects on my netview. It 
seems that its unreachable, from what I can see on the 
color(white). But I can ping and do snmp on the objects. When I 
do it, it turns green again ofcourse. So the problem seems that 
in some how, netview dont want to check the objects. Okej the 
objects and the nets behind our CSS are unreachable but I have 
done unmanaged on those so it shouldnt matters.

Aboute the seed file:
x.x.x.x
$x.x.x.x-x

That is how it looks in our seed file and ofcourse its not 
x.x.x.x =) well well you understand.

Im using Netview version 7.1 on Linux RedHat.

Thank you
