According to the actual text found int he netmon.seed file for UNIX ver 7.1.3  It shows the following

Seed entries are single entries (no wildcards or ranges).
#      IP addresses or hostnames can be specified for netmon to use as starting

#      points for discovery when netmon is started.  Netmon will always attempt

#      to discover these nodes.
#
#      Seed nodes must be reachable and should support SNMP.  Routers
#      make good candidates.  If the node's name cannot be resolved by the
#      name server, then the seed node is considered invalid and will be
#      ignored.  If an IP address cannot be resolved by the name server, a
#      seed hint is still added and a warning is logged in the
#      \usr\OV\log\nv.log file.


Is this actually true.   We cannot use WIldcards in Discovery Process?
