Philippe, it's a ^ not a &.

NetView: Force ICMP status polling for a node
Problem Desc:  For routers with
unnumbered serial interfaces netmon will automatically switch from ICMP
to SNMP status polling. Under some conditions this isn't desired. How can
I force netmon to still use ICMP polling for those nodes? 
  
Solution:  In the Seedfile Editor
enter the node under the "Exclude" section of "Enable SNMP
Status Checking".
This will add an entry with a leading
^ to the seedfile.
But be aware the under this condition
netmon can no more determine the status of the unnumbered interface(s).

Subject	[nv-l] & sign in netmon seed file ?

All, 

AIX 4.3.3 + NV 7.1.3 FP 2 

I sort of remember that netmon supports entries prefixed with an &
sign to mean : 
use ICMP only to determine the status of device interfaces.

I could find no contribution about this in the mailing list archives although
I'm quite sure I read something like this in the past.

Is it really the & sign ? 

Best regards, 
Philippe.
