Re: [nv-l] Discovering map

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

I think you misunderstand about how
netmon works.  What he discovers is controlled by the seed file and
the global options.  location.conf just tells him, where to put things
that have already been discovered.  

Since location.conf is static, the only
thing you can do is stop discovery once you are satisfied with it, otherwise
you will have to continue to update location.conf when new devices are
added and generate a new map.

You can restrict discover to just what
is in the seed file by putting an invalid range in it as the last item,
such as
        3.3.3.*

If this is Windows, then you can control
the discovery options from nvsetup.exe

Subject	[nv-l] Discovering map

Hi all,

I want Netview map to have only icons which are defined in the location.conf file.

Not all devices which are auto discovered by Netview using netmon.seed file.

I created new map by changing location.conf file, still Netview is putting all devices which are auto discovered by it.

Can somebody help me.

Thanks.
