Summary
The zennetworkclean python script (available as part of the zenoss.toolbox project on Github - https://github.com/zenoss/zenoss.toolbox) scans (and cleans, with the --fix flag) the Networks hierarchy for stale network information. Zennetworkclean should be run regularly (on a healthy system) to clean the Networks hierarchy - this results in a speed boost when accessing the Networks page in the UI.
Symptom of of Extraneous Networks Information
Slow loading of the Networks page through the UI is a symptom of extraneous networks information.
