3.3.5 Network Discovery Tab
FIGURE 3-15 Network Discovery Tab - EE Version
This tab specifies networks to discover (or exclude from discovery). The discovery process will attempt to discover devices
at all IP addresses in the network (or exclude all such addresses if configured for exclusion).
Networks can be added, modified, or deleted with the Add, Modify, and Delete buttons.
The “Discover Network” toggle, when checked, means to discover the network (or subnet). When unchecked, that network
(or subnet) will be ignored during discovery.
The “Entire Network” radio button, when selected, means to use all addresses in the network, specified by the IP Address
and Net Mask fields. When “Set of Nodes” is selected instead, only the addresses from the Start IP to the End IP will be dis-
covered.
When “Set of Nodes” is selected, the DHCP option becomes available. Use this option if IP addresses are assigned dynami-
cally. 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 and supplying the version,
community, and port values.
