4. Options. This screen lets you configure a variety of global discovery options for the targets
configured in the Discovery tab.
Tip: In addition to discovering devices by themselves, you can now discover
links between them as an activity that follows discovering the devices.
Click the checkbox next to the link discovery task appropriate to your
network in the lower part of this screen to do link discovery too. (See Link
Discovery for an alternative)
Consult the NMS200 User Guide or online help for details about the options available
in the upper portion of this screen.
5. Select Discovery Activities (Listed in Execution Order)—The lower portion of the screen
lists activities to perform after discovery. Use the Select Activity field along with the
command (...) and search buttons to its right to find activities. Selecting here lets you select
from those listed by default, and from those that appear in the Activities Manager. Click Add
to list a selected activity below, checked as Selected. Some activities appear automatically
(from the default discovery profile). Check those you want to activate.
The Edit button lets you configure the selected Activity’s parameters, if it is available and
appropriate. The editor also appears if you Add a task with configurable parameters. If
you select an activity that requires user input, the standard attribute selection screen(s)
for that activity appear during Discovery. Fill in the required attributes, and Discovery
continues.
Remove deletes the selected activity from the list.
