independently managed. To assist in this task of defining networks, Prizm auto discovers network
elements that are in
• user-defined IP address ranges
• SM-to-AP relationships with APs in the user-defined range
• BHS-to-BHM relationships with BHMs in the user-defined range.
For an AP, SM, wireless Ethernet bridge, CMMmicro, or CMM4, Prizm
• auto discovers the element to the extent possible.
• includes the element in the network tree.
