Yes, 7.1.3 is available. I believe that once the networks you need
are discovered and managed, new nodes will appear more readily.
I think there is something a little odd going on with the mangement
of networks and segments at 7.1.1 but I'm not sure what. I need to
upgrade this system too.
Do make sure that new node discovery was not disabled somehow.
check both the Topology dialog and the buttons in the SNMP
configuration dialog.
Once the network is more or less discovered, you should be able
to put 'rules only' ruleset in place. Maybe one that just uncludes some
address ranges. Save the long lists of nodes somewhere just in case.
Then if you need to delete and rediscover something, pinging should
be enough but if it is not, you can append it to the seedfile and
'netmon -y'. I don't think you are going to need to administer it that
manually.

Thanks, I have taken your advise and now have a fully populated map. What
concerns is will automatic discovery work for changes from now on. We have
a
fairly large and volitile network making it impossible rely upon manual
entries in a seedfile. I have worked with NetView since 1995 and this is
the
first time I have ever had anything like this happen. Is 7.1.3 available
yet?

I have no idea why it is not discovering, but I certainly would not have
the patience to wait for it to happen without a seedfile. I would dump
the contents of the old database and make a full, explicit seedfile
and force them all to be found in a matter of minutes. Then take
them out of the seedfile.
Hint: make sure those networks are really managed. Check their
object info, dont just go by the color. Also the segments in them.

NetView 7.1.2

Fresh install of 7.1.2 - NetView is not discovering any of our WAN. I have
removed the seedfile, the results with regard to our WAN is the same.
NetView discovers the subnets needed to discover our WAN and manages the
subnets but never picks up any WAN devices unless I specifically put the
device in the seedfile (when I was using a seedfile). I can ping and SNMP
walk the WAN routers, etc.
Maybe this has changed - in prior versions of NetView a demandpoll resulted
in a "Get ARP table for discovering secondary interfaces" and subsequently
simply a "Get ARP table". I thought this second get ARP table was a key to
discovery. The new version only does the "Get ARP table for discovering
secondary interfaces".
Does anybody have any ideas?
