Discovering Devices Using IP Ranges
You can use the Dell OpenManage Power Center management console to discover a device from the network.
Before adding a device from the network, make sure the DNS server is set up correctly. Specifically, make sure that:
• There is a DNS server running on the Power Center network.
• The specified DNS server has a reverse DNS zone for the network on which you are trying to discover the
devices.
NOTE: Power Center server tries to retrieve device names from the DNS server specified in the network
configuration of the operating system. This may cause the device name to be different from the actual one if the
DNS server resolves the device IP address to a different device name.
