Creating a Discovery Range Group
Description: The Add-DiscoveryRangeGroup command allows you to create a discovery range group.
A discovery range group can either contain a range of IPs, individual IPs, or host names under it. This
enables you to modify protocols settings for the group and all the ranges it contains. You can maintain
different sets of protocols for different types of devices in your network. With ranges not in a group, you
have to edit each range individually to change the protocols which are active, the time out or retry values,
or credentials used with each protocol. Each discovery range group can only have one corresponding
subnet. The subnet for a group is read from the DiscoveryProfile.xml file and not from the Rangelist.xml
or RangeList.csv file. If required, create multiple groups for each subnet. For more information about
DiscoveryProfile.xml, Rangelist.xml, and RangeList.csv files, see Creating a Discovery Profile Input File and
Specifying IPs, Ranges, or Host names Using XML or CSV Files.
Command:
• PS> Add-DiscoveryRangeGroup –Profile <DiscoveryProfile.xml> -GroupName
<group name> -RangeList <Rangelist.xml>
• PS> Add-DiscoveryRangeGroup –Profile <DiscoveryProfile.xml> -GroupName
<group name> -RangeListCSV <Rangelist.csv>
Examples:
• PS> Add-DiscoveryRangeGroup –Profile .\Samples\DiscoveryProfile.xml -
GroupName Group1 -RangeList .\Samples\rangelist.xml
• PS> Add-DiscoveryRangeGroup –Profile .\Samples\DiscoveryProfile.xml -
GroupName Group1 -RangeListCSV .\Samples\rangelist.csv
Removing a Discovery Range Group
Description: The Remove-DiscoveryRangeGroup command allows to you to remove a discovery
range group.
Command:
PS>Remove-DiscoveryRangeGroup -GroupName <groupname>
Example:

Editing a Discovery Range
Description: The Set-ModifyDiscoveryRange command allows to edit existing discovery ranges. This
command targets the existing specified discovery range(s) and replaces the protocol information with the
information specified in the
DiscoveryProfile.xml file. For more information about the
DiscoveryProfile.xml and RangeList.xml files, see Creating a Discovery Profile Input File and Specifying IPs,
Ranges, or Host names Using XML or CSV Files.
