Options for the Basic tab are:
• Enable Discovery -The default is checked; if not checked, Discovery will not be performed.
• Discover Local Network - The default is not checked; if checked, nodes from the local network (where the NMS resides)
are discovered.
• Rediscover Already Discovered Nodes - If checked (the default), nodes already discovered are rediscovered based on
the rediscovery interval that has been set. If not checked, the node will not be rediscovered (and updates will not be
detected).
• Enable ICMP Discovery - If checked (not the default), ICMP Ping is used for discovery.
• Ping Retries - Number of times an ICMP Ping will be resent.
• Ping Timeout - Number of seconds the Configurator waits before assuming there will be no response.
• Rediscovery Schedule - Choose an hour and one or more days of the week. Nightly rediscovery is recommended
(default), but any number (including none) can be selected. No more than once every 24 hours is allowed.
