Click Apply to implement the changes in each section or Reset to return to previously saved
values.
Use the Start Discovery radio buttons at the bottom of the panel to configure discovery on demand.
Choices are to discover all APs, only those with a connection to the wired network (IP), or only
those that radio neighbors. Click Discover to rediscover the network on demand.
Scope/Seed
By default, NM Portal automatically discovers all compatible APs in the local IP subnet. When
APs are deployed across multiple subnetworks, specifying the discovery scope and seed IP address
speeds the discovery process. The seed IP address is used as the reference AP for discovery
purposes. The Seed AP is optional. If it is not specified, NM Portal automatically discovers all the
compatible APs in that subnet and identifies a seed AP for itself.
Select the Scope/Seed tab (Figure 136) to configure the scope and seed parameters.
Discovery Limit Restrict discovery to a number of APs. Once this limit is reached, the discover
process stops. The range is 1-50 for (default is 50 APs).
AP IP Address Specify the IP address of an AP that you want to manage but which is not part
of the managed subnetwork specified in the discovery scope.
AP's added to the managed network this way are termed “manually added”
and can be managed by NM Portal.
This option is useful if an AP is moved to another subnet and is no longer able
to reach the NM Portal AP. You can manually add the AP’s IP address in NM
Portal and continue manage the AP. It is not necessary to reenroll the AP.
Discovery Methods Select whether to discover the APs with valid IP address information (IP),
those identifiable by their radio beacon (Wireless), or those that meet either
criterion.
Force Rediscovery Select to force an immediate rediscovery of all APs. If the discovery process
is already in progress when rediscovery is initiated, then no additional
discovery is re-initiated.
To stop the current discovery process and restart discovery again, use the
Force All option. This is useful if the discovery scope is incorrectly
configured and must be deleted.
