Definition of seed routers is highly recommended for IPv4 networks and is required for IPv6 networks. For more in-depth information, see the Adding Seed Routers topic.

NetMRI uses seed routers to quickly perform network discovery. Seed routers are also given priority (like static IP definitions) for determining which devices are counted toward NetMRI's license limits.
