NMIS has two different location attributes. "location" and "sysLocation" . NMIS and the OMK apps also make use of the Location Locations table. So what are all these location attributes.?
sysLocation
This is the default location information you see in most places when you have done no configuration associated with locations in NMIS. sysLocation is an attribute we collect for almost all devices using SNMP. A device such as a router may have it's location configured so that when NMIS queries the device's "MIB-2 SYSTEM" mib it returns the sysLocation string. If the device has no location information configured then this will return as "default".
