1. Open the topo-split.conf configuration file found in the following directory using sm_edit:
    
   TSM_BASEDIR/IP/smarts/conf/discovery/topo-split
   
    
2. Specify a pattern to match as follows:
   
   PATTERN=<Pattern> DOMAIN=<DomainName>
   
   Example
   The following example uses a pattern (PATTERN=192.1.17.*) to specify that all devices with an IP address that starts with the first three octets of "192.1.17" must be assigned to the subdomain (DOMAIN=AM001):
   
   PATTERN=192.1.17.* DOMAIN=AM001
