#I am really sorry but I have no knowledge about Tk,Tcl.

1. relationship between tkined <-> BONES database.
Information retrieved using "IP Discover",
"SNMP-Trouble->SNMP devices", etc
are stored in *.tki files. but those parameters
doesn't seem to be passed to BONES database.
Do I have to manually enter values to the BONES database?
The closest thing I found the ML archive is the one
with adding tkined objects into the BONES database.
But I understand that it does not manipulate existing
tables but create "new" tables (ex. NODE,NETWORK,,,)
2. "IP discover" FAILS to merge nodes ( sometimes ).
"IP discover" fails to merge nodes with multiple interface.
I would like to know the following:
a. What is the problem? -> The way DNS is set?
b. How can I merge them?
3. Is the network discovering topology algorithm always correct?
I get weird results (sometimes).
Topology which should have been:
========+=========+===========
| |
| Y
| |
X Z
is:
========+=========+===========
| |
| Y
| |
X---------Z
(Do I seriously need to read NETWORK text books?)
Does this have to do with the way I "IP discover Network"?
-> I typed IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.
DNS address ABC.DEF instead of IP xxx.xxx.
( I can't remember when I typed them, but I just remember
that I typed it,,,,, sorry. )
4. Is there a auto-correcting TOOL for manipulated (wrong) maps?
If, for instance, I accidently added some links between nodes,
and I can't remember which. Can those links be identified
and removed?
5. auto icon selection.
Is there any way to change to the appropriate icon
after some info processing like after "SNMP devices"
ex. cisco router with a MACHINE icon gets corrected to a CISICO icon.
Thanks for the time.
