Creating an IPv6 Discovery Profile | Getting Started
94 OMNM 6.5.2 User Guide
Create an IPv6 discovery profile as follows.
1 Create and name a Discovery Profile (see Discovering Your Network on page 97 for a more
complete description).
2 Enter the IPv6 address in the second screen of a discovery profile in the editor.
Notice that an address like
de80::4564:3344:1a10:f37 becomes
de80:0:0:04564:3344:1a10:f37 , inserting zeros, when you tab off the address field.
3 Configure the discovery as you would like, and inspect to validate the device is ready to
discover.
Notice that if your network has switches without IPv6 enabled between your OpenManage
Network Manager installation and the device you are discovering, inspection fails.
4 Execute discovery.
The device appears in Managed Resources with the IPv6 interface in its IP Address column.
It also appears in filters (like selecting device targets)
...and in various Alarm screens
