Alert-initiated Discovery
The alert-initiated discovery enables discovery of devices not managed by Dell
Management Console, through alerts or traps.
Configure the trap destination of the un-managed devices in the network,
with the IP address of the Dell Management Console system. When these
devices send traps asynchronously to Dell Management Console system,
each trap initiates an individual discovery process, which discovers the
node that sent the trap.
This feature is disabled by default.
