I do not think that I would recommend using this !!!
It is my understanding that whenever a negative OID is used in the
seed file it causes all
matching nodes to be populated into the object database with a "stub"
entry containing
the IP Address and a few other fields. That means that every non-snmp
node would have a
"stub" entry in the database but not appear on the map.
I would have done it as indicated below in a December 15th post from
Jane Curry.
This "positive" seed file entry would not impact the database.
Please get back to us (good or bad) with database impact using the
negative (!@oid) entry.
Thanks,
Don Davis
To totally prevent discovery of non-SNMP nodes in NetView V5, specify as
a statement in the seedfile:
@oid 1.3.6.1.*
This specifies the total group of SNMP-nodes with OIDs beginning with
1.3.6.1. Non-SNMP-devices are not included in this group, thus they are
excluded from discovery.
Cheers, Jane

You may discover only SNMP devices by putting !@oid 0 at the end of your seed
file.
