Brad, what you have shown us should work fine. If it is not, then I think one
of the following must be true:
1) Some other entry in your seedfile is allowing them. For instance, a positive
OID entry will override a negative address range.
2) The nodes were there before you added the exclusion and were not thoroughly
deleted. I have had good results with this method:
ovstop netmon
find and delete the nodes from all submaps - do this for all maps as well
wait for all of the events to show up
close the map
ovtopofix -a
ovstart netmon
re-open the map
A rediscovery would work as well, if you are at a stage where you can do that.
But I use the mass-delete method all the time. Try making a Smartset that gets
all
of them together (eg non-snmp, or the MS oid), go into it and select them all
and
delete them from there.

I'm trying to exclude certain addresses (workstations)from being discovered
in our agency offices. The third octect identifies the office and the
router and server are on 172.18.xxx.1 and 172.18.xxx.2. The range .4 - .254
is reserved for workstations. Attached is a portion of our seed file. Can
anyone explain why I'm still getting the workstations. (For example:
172.18.36.25)
(NetView 6.0.2 on AIX 4.3.3).
# Agency Offices
172.18.1-199.1
172.18.1-199.2
!172.18.1-199.4-254
172.18.200-254.*
