Discovering Your Network
Saving a Seed File
You use the MWTM to save a specific seed file, change the list of seed files, and select one seed file to
be loaded automatically when the MWTM client is started or the Discovery dialog box is opened.
When you are satisfied that the MWTM has discovered all of the nodes in the network, save the list of
seed nodes in a seed file by using one of these procedures:
• To save the changes you made to the seed file without changing the name of the file, choose File >
Save from the Discovery Dialog menu.
• To save the changes you have made to the seed file with a new name, choose File > Save As from
the Discovery Dialog menu. The MWTM displays the Save File Dialog: Seed File List dialog box
(Figure 4-3).
The MWTM stores the seed file in the seed file directory on the MWTM server:
• If you installed the MWTM in the default directory, /opt, then the MWTM seed file directory is
/opt/CSCOsgm/seeds.
• If you installed the MWTM in a different directory, then the MWTM seed file directory is located
in that directory.
Make this my preferred start option Specifies whether the selected seed file should be loaded
automatically whenever this MWTM client is started or the
Discovery dialog box is opened.
By default, this check box is unchecked for all seed files. That is,
no seed file is loaded automatically when the MWTM client is
started or the Discovery dialog box is opened.
Number of Files
(appears in bottom-left corner)
Total number of seed files and folders.
OK Loads the selected seed file, saves any changes you made to the
list of files, and closes the dialog box.
To load a seed file, double-click it in the list, select it in the list
and click OK, or enter the name of the file and click OK.
The MWTM saves any changes you made to the list of files,
closes the Load File Dialog: Seed File List dialog box, loads the
seed file, and returns to the Discovery dialog box. The MWTM
lists all of the seed nodes in the seed file in the Seed Nodes pane,
and displays details of the SNMP settings for the seed nodes in the
Seed Details pane.
Delete Deletes the selected file from the seed file list. The MWTM issues
an informational message containing the name and location of the
deleted file.
Cancel Closes the dialog box without loading a seed file or saving any
changes to the seed file list.
Help Displays online help for the dialog box.
