When “Set of Nodes” is selected, the DHCP option becomes available. Use this option if IP addresses are assigned
dynamically. The NMS will then use MAC addresses to identify hosts rather than IP addresses or host names.
If SNMP discovery is enabled, network discovery will normally use the parameters configured on the SNMP tab, but they can
be overridden for specific networks and subnets by selecting the SNMP option on this tab.The properties to fill in depend on
the SNMP version selected.
A version of SNMP can be chosen to override what is configured for the network. After choosing the SNMP version,
selecting the Properties button allows the parameters to be filled in.
Caution: It is not possible to delete a network from discovery once discovery begins on that network. Discovery begins any time
immediately after saving changes. Therefore, to permanently remove a network from the discovery configuration, shut down
the NMS to shut down the discovery process and use the standalone Discovery Configurator to delete the unwanted
network. Networks are successfully deleted, however, when deleted before
saving changes.
