Scott,

I don't see any reason to add MLMs for this.  Netmon should handle the
function nicely.

Assumptions:
I assume you have discovery turned on in NetView.
If they are putting them on the network in the build process, that the
subnet(s) is known.
You have discovered another IP address in that subnet and have the subnet
managed on the NetView map.

Suggested solution:
- Put that range of addresses in your netmon seed file.
- On a 10 minute cycle from cron, run the command "/usr/OV/bin/netmon -y" .
This will ask netmon to discover based on the seed file again..speeding up
the process.

I tried this in a small setting and it found the nodes in a matter of
seconds, your results may vary!  :-)

Kind regards,
