You have a couple of subjects in here, so this is just about the exclusion
question. You can't do what you are asking to. If a node is discovered,
all if it's interfaces will be discovered, so you have to unmanage the ones
you don't want. Unmanage is a map-only function. There is no API and
there is no commandline for it. If they have particular labels, you might
be able to Locate lots of them at once, and use View..Highlights..Select
Highlights, and then unmanage them. Or get them into a Collection and
unmanage them from there. If they are interfaces that really
should not be defined at all, give the list to the network configuration
guys for housekeeping. If they are things like dial-up lines that are
usually down, the concensus on the forum has been that you unmanage
them and hide them.
Cordially,

Could you tell me how I can exclude interfaces from being monitored from
the command line. I discover only the nodes in listed in my seed file,
but don't wish to monitor particular interfaces on many of the nodes.
Also, as we are in the middle of a network restructuring, how should
Netview 5.1 handle machines that move to a completely different subnet -
do these nodes have to be removed and readded? Ideally, I would like a
Node up event (or closed Node down event) to arrive at the T/EC to
cancel the Node down event.
Many thanks,
