The Container you are referring to is our way of propagating the Layer2Status of the switch throughout the various GUI views.

Did you get a vendor (V) event for this switch in the past? If so, that would explain the status you are seeing.

Hi,

We have NetView7.1.4 FP3 with Switch Analyzer installed on Windows Machine. We have One Cisco(2950) switch on LAN. The NetView shows a symbol "ContainerLayer2Status" in red and when i open it there is an inteface with "0.0.0.0" ip address and it shows it as down. What is that "0.0.0.0" interface and why is it down?
