Line one displays the range of IP addresses (IP address 100.200.100) with their last address field, address ending in numbers between 170 through 180, polled to IP address 100.200.100.78, poller number1.

A hyphen should be used to indicate a range.

Line two displays all other IP addresses in subnet 100.200.100.*, are polled to IP address 100.200.100.79, poller number 2.

A * should be used to indicate a wildcard.

Line three displays that all other IP address in subnet,100.*.*.*, are polled to IP address 100.200.100.77, poller number 3.

Line four displays that all other address in the network are polled to 127.0.0.1, poller number 4 which represents the poller located on the local machine.

Be certain that the last entry in the mediationd.cnf file contains a global subnet (*.*.*.*) in the first field to ensure that all nodes in the network are assigned to a poller.
