A range in a seedfile essentially filters what devices Netview will
discover, but will not force it to discover any nodes...to do that, you list
them individually, as you have noticed.

What are you trying to do with a seedfile...are you trying to get Netview to
discover a whole range of devices?  If so, I suggest creating a seedfile
with the IP address or hostname of a router in each subnet.  Once Netview
has discovered the routers, then demand poll them and Netview will discover
all the nodes in the router's arp cache/routing tables, which should be all
the active nodes.

Morning All,

I have an issue where I would like to include an address range in my
seedfile. Once included, none of the devices are found. If I include the
specific IP address, the devices are found with no problem. What am I
missing?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

THX
