Hi Brad,

I think this depends on the order of the entries in Your seed-file:

You've got to put the "Exclude-Line" on top of the file:

# Agency Offices
!172.18.1-199.4-254
172.18.1-199.1
172.18.1-199.2
172.18.200-254.*

I think this will work ......


Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüssen

I'm trying to exclude certain addresses (workstations)from being discovered
in our agency offices. The third octect identifies the office and the
router and server are on 172.18.xxx.1 and 172.18.xxx.2. The range .4 - .254
is reserved for workstations. Attached is a portion of our seed file. Can
anyone explain why I'm still getting the workstations. (For example:
172.18.36.25)


(NetView 6.0.2 on AIX 4.3.3).

# Agency Offices
172.18.1-199.1
172.18.1-199.2
!172.18.1-199.4-254
172.18.200-254.*
