General
The Discovery Profile editor opens to the General.
The General panel includes settings for:
•
General Parameters , where you specify the name, description, and whether this profile is the
discovery default.
•
Profile Options , where you specify the Device Naming Format (how the device appears in
lists, once discovered), whether to Manage by IP address or hostname, and whether to Resolve
Hostnames, ICMP Ping Devices, Manage ICMP-only Devices, or Manage Unclassified
Devices. This last option determines whether the OpenManage Network Manager application
attempts to manage devices that have no OpenManage Network Manager device driver
installed. If your system’s license permits it, such management may be possible, but more
limited than for devices with drivers installed.
If your license limits the number of devices you manage, discovering such “generic” devices
may count against that limit. See
Base Driver on page 105 for more.
