Try adding one specific IP address per subnet as an initial seed entry such as:

10.60.180.x

where x is a valid IP address (like a router)

If that does not help to get that subnet discovered, then try a different syntax for your range, like

10.60.180.1-255

instead of 10.60.180.*.

Yes. I have also added one and more of the routers into the seed file as well. Still no luck
AIX 5.1
Netview 7.1.3 (fixpack 1 and 2)

Have you tried pinging a router within one of those subnets while discovery is running?

Subject: [nv-l] netmon.seed file
I have tried a number of configurations but can not get it to discover devices the way I want them to. I have a number of subnets that I manage, lets say (10.60.180.*-10.60.190.* and 10.60.120.*-10.60.132.*). I would lick to have netmon auto discover anything on these subnets. The only way I can get the devices to show up is to add each device into the seed file. How can I get the devices to be auto discovered. I have tried what the config docs say making my netmon.seed file look this:

10.60.180-190.*
10.60.120-132.*

But the only thing that gets discovered is the Netview server and the default route. I have tried a number of others for example:

10.60.180.*
10.60.181.*
10.60.182.*

…and so on

But nothing other than specific IPs seem to be working

Any advice would be great
Thanks
