I have the same problem. I don't see the point in creating subnet maps if
when you log into the WUG web you see all of the maps. One person suggested
creating a shortcut to the particular map you are wanting. Example:
http://<wug server>/<mapname.wup.cgi> This should work. However, your users
will have to use this link to get to the maps they need to see. Even if you
are running WUG as a service, each map has to be loaded in order for WUG to
monitor the devices on that map. WUG's mapping is primitive at best. I
wished they would do it like HP Open View, but then I guess they would have
to charge more, so I'm not complaining. Let me know if you need more help.
