information into this dialog box as in the above example and click OK to
return to the Network Discovery wizard.
5 Complete the wizard as normal and click Finish.
A discovery will be started immediately, discovering the required subnets.
At midnight the discovery will be repeated, and subsequently each day at
midnight. If you are concerned that the initial discovery may be
inaccurate, due to your network being very busy at the time you perform
this discovery, this should not be too much of an issue. Assuming the
discovery is able to detect all the relevant subnets during the first
discovery, any missing devices should be discovered during the scheduled
discovery at the quieter time.
I have four separate
subnets - how do I
specify them?
While 3Com Network Director is capable of automatically discovering
your local subnet and its immediate neighbors, you may only want to
discover selected subnets. In the following example, you want to specify
four subnets. To do this:
1 Launch the Network Discovery wizard (e.g. by selecting Tools > Network
Discovery).
2 On the first pane of the wizard, select the Specify Subnets radio button
and click Next
