Logical discovery
The appliance supports creation of up to 20 discovery queues that can be leveraged to discover
SPs on the network. The discovery ranges define a start-stop IPv4 address that the appliance will
scan looking for SPs. The discovery can be run as Manual (run-once) or Automatic (runs according
to defined minute interval).
If the appliance can identify the SP type and log in using credentials from the default user list, the
SPs will be added to the list of targets. If the appliance cannot identify or log in to the SP, nothing
will be added and you will need to either manually add it or use the Import SPfeature.
To discover service processors:
1. In the navigation menu, click Targets - SPManagement - Discovery.
2. Click Add Range to open the Modify Search Range screen.
3. Enter the name for the search then enter the IPaddresses for the range in the From and To
fields.
4. Use the drop-down menu to either manually or automatically start the search.
5. If you want to automatically discover devices on a timed interval, you can enter an interval
range from 10 minutes to 30 days. Enter the time interval in dd-hh-mm (days-hours-minutes)
format and click Apply.
6. Click Search Range Start to begin the discovery process.
NOTE: Rescanning the same IPrange in an environment that is mostly static will consume appliance
processing resources and increase network traffic unnecessarily. Automatic discovery is only recommended
for dynamic environments that undergo frequent change.
To manually add an SP:
1. From the sidebar, click Targets - SPManagement, then click the Service Processors tab.
2. Click Add SP.
3. Enter the IPaddress and an alias name for the SP.
