		that Optivity Switch Manager queries using
		SNMP to start the discovery process. For a list
		of supported devices, see Installing Optivity

		network, you can specify multiple seed
		addresses, separated by commas. The
		separate networks do not appear to be
		connected in the network topology map.

		a data packet travels from one router or
		intermediate point to another in the network.
		(Default is 5 hops.)
