Thanks James,

But I have a list of over 100 specific IP addresses that are on 20 different routers.  I have a list of very specific IP address that the NOC wants in one collection.

We have already tried the approximate ~ option.  For example IPAddress ~ 172.18.43 but that is bringing in to many IP addresses than I want in the collection.  Any other thoughts?  Maybe I can't accomplish everything in a smartset and need to run this through a ruleset?

I don't see the problem.  You use the editor.  Type "collectioned" from the command line, select "Add", then "Modify" the first rule,  and go from there, The Attribute would be "IP Address".

In our environment only the loopback address of the router is configured in DNS to resolve a hostname to an IP address.  Therefore, all other interfaces on the routers are IP addresses only.

From our campus routers (approximately 20 routers) our NOC has identified very critical IP address interfaces that they want put into a single Smartset.  How can I create a smartset that will contain specific IP addresses? 

Thanks

Run the "collectioned" as James stated and select the TEXT button at the bottom where you can enter all the IPs you need in the correct syntax.  Build the rule in text editor first and paste it in box.
