Adding ranges for loopback interfaces will not work. Looopback interfaces
are always at least two hops away. You need to discover something one hop
away from them to find them via a range like this, and the only thing one
hop away from a loopback interface is another interface on that same router.
I would advise adding a bogus range to limit discovery, and turning on new
node discovery. Netview is supposed to discover specifically mentioned
entries on the seedfile even with new node discovery off. But I've not
played with it enough to know if it really works or not.
Your seedfile will look like:
10.10.10.1-11 # Do not discover anything outside of this range
172.16.33.1 # except this stuff.
172.16.33.2
172.16.33.3
172.16.33.4
172.16.33.5
172.16.33.101
172.16.33.102
This will discover the routers with these loopbacks, and all the networks
they connect to. The network will be managed, but nothing else on them will
be discovered.
Hope this helped.

Subject: Netview 5.1 and Aix 4.3.1 and node discover
My best guess would be that, by unchecking new node discovery, you won't
discover ANY new nodes. Try leaving new node discovery checked, and change
your seed file to:
172.16.33.1-5
172.16.33.101-102
By listing individual nodes in the seedfile, Netview uses that as a
starting point, then continues to discover the network. But, by listing a
range of addresses, Netview will assume these are the ONLY nodes you want
to discover. Chapter 8 of the Installation guide seedfile usage pretty
well.
Hope this helps,

Before I begin I only want to monitor things listed in the seedfile.
1. I made a seedfile with all my router loopback interfaces in it.
/usr/OV/conf/seed.txt
Here it is
172.16.33.1
172.16.33.2
172.16.33.3
172.16.33.4
172.16.33.5
172.16.33.101
172.16.33.102
2. I changed the configuration of the netmon daemon to discover loopbacks
and
user the seefile /usr/OV/conf/seed.txt
3. I did ovstart ovotpmd
ovstart OVORS_M
ovw
4. Unchecked new node discover
5. Started all the daemons
6. I does not discover my routers
Any suggestions
