Thanks, James.
But I still have questions:
1) Can I put not SNMP supported nodes on the seed file?
2) Can I use the same flagging of DHCP nodes from the seed file on Windows version on the Linux version??

Re: [nv-l] Discovering networks without switches but with DHCP Nodes

If you and not going to enable SNMP on key devices, so that netmon can do discovery for you, then you are going to have to use a seed file.
You can read all about seed files in the NetView books (and there is much about them in the archives as well). You did install the books didn't you?

Basically you will have to include seeds from each of your major sites, and each of the switches/routers/gateways you want to monitor between them.

Seed files are also how you deal with DHCP nodes. These get flagged in the seed file as well.
