No, you cannot prevent the discovery of selected interfaces on a
device. If any interface on the device meets the criteria for discovery,
the node will be found and all interfaces discovered. The only time
I saw a network with NAT there were a whole bunch of extra networks
and interfaces drawn. There seems to be a finite number of them.
We unmanaged them and hid them. A collection would help keep
that managable.

Cordially,

How about excluding that NAT range in the seedfile.  I'm not sure of the
syntax for excluding ranges...

Is there a way to configure NetView so that it does not discover NAT
addresses on a device?
