I have seen IP Address wildcards work..
What failed for me was - when I try to pick up vendor specific devices by
sysObjectId=1.3.6.1.4.1.9.* (Using the appropriate syntax), it doesnt come
up with a list.
Arent IBM tweaks shakey?

James,
It seemed to work fine for a single selection (as you describe below),
where the problem comes in... is if you try to AND it with something
else.
Question: Did you try this to, or just the single condition?
Thanks.
Gary Boyles

I don't know what to tell you guys. I have 5.1.1 installed and I did just
what Gary did and it works only too well for me.
I selected "IP Properties" and "Using Wildcards", clicked the IP Address
radio button, and used the Tivoli subnet 146.84.*.*, and then hit APPLY.
I got a huge number of hits.

I tried this a while back, I don't think it worked for
me either. Because an IP address is normally
associated with a NIC, and which is a subcomponent of
a Node. So if you AND the result of the IP Address
search with isNode, it won't work. Right now, I don't
know of any way to create a smartset of Nodes using
strictly IP Addresses.
May be James and Leslie can enlighten us on how this
can be done, or just tell us that it's impossible.
