File Administration Adding a Network or Node from the Network Inventory
49
AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
This tab specifies specific nodes to discover (or exclude from discovery).
Nodes can be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify, and Delete buttons.
The “Discover Node” toggle, when checked, means to discover the node. When unchecked, that node will be ignored
(excluded) from discovery.
The “Discover Parent Network” tab means to discover all the devices in the parent network as well. The parent network
will be considered to be all IP addresses in the same subnet as the node defined by its IP Address and its Net Mask. When
unchecked, only the one node will be discovered.
If SNMP discovery is enabled, node discovery will normally use the parameters configured on the SNMP tab, but they can be
overridden for specific nodes by selecting the SNMP option on this tab and supplying the version, community, and port
values.
The SNMP version used can be selected here as well, with the properties determined by the version.
Note: If nodes are failing initial discovery, you can (for SNMP) change the “Retries” parameter (default 0) and the “Timeout”
parameter from the SNMP v1/v2c Tab, and then use the Network Inventory / Edit -> Add Node to retry initial discovery.
If you are using ICMP, you can change the “Retries” parameter (default 0) and the Timeout parameter from the Basic Tab.
3.3 Adding a Network or Node from the Network Inventory
You can add an individual network or node immediately by selecting the Network Inventory node in the Network Objects
tree. To add a new network go to Edit > Add Network. To add a new node go to Edit > Add Node. This brings up the Allied
Telesis Add Network or Add Node panel, respectively, as shown below.
