Not seeing loopback address for device in topology services

[p.papanier]

I want to change management IP of 6509 in topology services to loopback address, but when I select change management IP its not listed. I tried to rediscover deive and get the same thing, loopback is not listed.

any ideas?

Did you used the loopback address as the seed ip for the doing the device discovery?. Also see: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/wr2k/cpmn/prodlit/wk2ke_wp.htm

I didnt originally setup system, need to check this. How would I fix this, delete device,, make ANI change

and when rediscover device?

I had the same problem with ANIServer not detecting the loopback address for Catalyst Switch on my network. I discovered in the ANIServer.properties file located $NNMSROOT\Campus\etc\cwsi a property for telling ANIServer to use the loop address. Just change nameserver.useloopbackaddress to = true. Save the file and then stop and start the ANIServer process.

Hope this helps.
