Only initial seeds will force discovery.  Discovery proceeds by reading 
the arp cache of the NetView box.  If there are no boxes outside your own 
subnet in there, then that's all NetView will find initially.  You can 
speed up discovery by putting some key devices in the seed file as initial 
discovery nodes; routers are good choices.  Otherwise just use any box in 
a subnet outside your own.   Putting in a range to limit discover does 
just that.  It will keep netmon from adding those nodes to the database, 
but it won't force him to go looking for anything.   That's what discovery 
seeds do.

This is basic  stuff and not unique to Linux.  It's all in the books and 
has been for years.

Hi Anabella, i did not put any address in the "initial discovery seeds"
field.

I only put some address in the "limit discovery / limit by ip address /
include field"

Do i must put some address in the "initial discovery seeds" field ?

Thanks
Dominic

Hi, Dominic.

You need, set, in seed file (netmon.seed), in the menu options, Limit
Discovery to this seed file.
