Discovery Global Defaults The Discovery Global Defaults pane
provides defaults for use in the Network Discovery wizard, Discovery
Options pane. Choose the type of Discovery you want to schedule.
See “
Discovery Options Pane” on page 122 for a full explanation of the
options available here.
Upon exiting this dialog box and returning to the wizard, when you
complete the rest of wizard the discovery will start immediately using the
options you chose throughout the wizard. Any scheduled discoveries that
you specified here will be performed on the subnets that exist in the map
at the time the scheduled discovery is started. The options associated
with those subnets, such as IP ranges, timeouts etc. will be used again.
When a scheduled discovery is started, the Discovery Progress dialog box
is shown in its minimized state. See “
The Network Discovery Progress
Dialog Box” on page 128 for more detail.
Once a discovery has been scheduled an entry for it will appear in the
Scheduled Tasks dialog box. This shows the time that the next discovery
will take place and the repeat frequency.
Scheduled discoveries are always repeat tasks – you cannot schedule a
one-off discovery.
When the time comes for the scheduled discovery to be started, if a
conflicting task (e.g. another discovery) is already running the scheduled
task will be queued until the currently running task completes. If a second
scheduled discovery is due to be started while the first scheduled
discovery is still in the queue, the second discovery is discarded.
Summary Pane
This is the final pane of the wizard. It summarizes the options you
selected throughout the course of the wizard.
