In my experience, they are not linked. Different IDs. We use this because we have one central SNMP device that monitors temperature and humidity throughout our data center, and instead of one device with 20+ SMMP active monitors, we want to maintain individual event histories and also visual separation of each sensor on a WUG map. So, we have 20+ devices, with unique IDs, all with the same IP address, and each has a different SNMP monitor on it (and SNMP performance monitor for graphing trends). Works great.
Now, if your goal is to maintain one central device/ID/IP event history, but just get rid of the 'stupid' arrow...I suggest you just live with the 'stupid' arrow.

How does that work with alarms. If you create two objects in this manner you must be creating two ID's in the database. I thought WUG tied event to the db ID no's so will it be able to link alarm conditions to these nodes even if they share the same IP address?

You can actually 'fool' WUG into letting you add two devices with the same IP. Add the device with a bogus IP (1.1.1.1 for instance), and then after it's discovered and in the map, just change the IP in the properties. Works like a charm.

No. Since you copied it, it links to the original device. You can only have 1 device with the same ip. You will need to move (not copy) the device. However, that will remove it from the original location. -----Original Message----- From: Rimmer, Edward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 7:53 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Device Groups... Hi, When you copy a device into another Device Group, it has a stupid shortcut arrow on its icon, is there anyway to turn this off ?
