Re: netmon configuration

Steve is correct, you cannot prevent these empty networks from being drawn, but
if your seedfile
prevents it, they won't get anything else in them. Sometimes there are lots of
them, and they clutter
up the map.  Then sometimes later on you need one of them for something. The
way I often
handle this is to make a location icon for a router and cut and paste the spare
networks into it.
If it is not in the way, I'll leave it on the top map; if it is in the way,
I'll hide that. It makes it easy to
bring it back when I need it.

Cordially,

You can't change it.  When a node is discovered, all interfaces get
discovered.  When an interface is discovered, it has to have a network to
belong to.

Rest assured, Netview will not discover any other nodes in the excluded
networks unless those nodes themselves have interfaces in non-excluded
networks.

You can hide the excluded networks if you don't want to see them.  The menu
choice is "Edit -> Hide Objects -> From This Submap".  You can also unmanage
the network, if you want to be really sure of things.  If you do, make sure
the interface itself is hidden/unhidden/managed/unmanaged based on how you
want it handled.

If I'm wrong, someone please let me know.  I've got networks I don't want in
my maps, too.

Steve
