Ralph, if your seedfile is working for you, stick with it. It may only
be a question of style. Taken by themselves, the only difference I
know of between the !@oid 0 and the @oid 1.3.6.1.* is the chance
that !@oid 0 will allow the discovery of things with badly formed
oids, such as you sometimes see on firewalls.

I do have suspicions, based on poorly-recorded notes I took at
an update and observations at a number of customer sites, about the
order of precedence between negative and positive entries of the oid
and address-range types, that lead me to use the !@oid 0. But you
should not change what is working for you. There is a certain amount
of voodoo involved here.

I think most people do it the way you are doing it. Anyone else?

Cordially,

Hi, forum!

In a recent posting I found the following...

!@oid 0             # exclude non-snmp things

Until now I've used something like...

@oid 1.3.6.1.*   # discover SNMP-stuff only, except...
!@oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.1          # HP Network Printer

Question: Should I switch to the "new" version? Do I miss something?
Any info appreciated.
