Happy Thanksgiving, from America, on our national holiday.
The description of the seed file just isn't clear enough in the
documentation. Adding an entry to the seed file PERMITS it to discover
the addresses covered. Only an individual IP address FORCES a discovery
(on Unix) or the explicit addressing of an address in the range with a
PING or other NetView reference to the address.
The second step is to read how discovery proceeds and Mario Behring
addressed that point. Including the individual address of a router will
cause NetView to read the ARP cache on that node and proceed to discover
all the devices in the cache. Then it reads the caches in those devices
and the discover proceeds.
In the early days the NetView development group thought that it was
interesting to put in the entry 9.*.*.* (the IBM Class A network) and
the address of a router somewhere in the world (like Spain) and watch
the discovery proceed until the AIX machines of the day crashed from
the overload. I still have a copy of the screen capture.

Hi All:
Netview 7.1.4 FixPack1
AIX 5.2
I am trying to discover the objects using the netmon.seed and the
option to discover for wildcard including ranges .
The format of my seed files is:
@limit_discovery
10.125.16.*
but this not works , el Netview does not discover anything.
If I put the ip adrress : 10.125.16.1 it works fine , the object is
discovered
Thanks
