NMS200 Quick Reference Manual
Tip: You can add a task to add discovered devices to NMS200 NETGEAR®
ProSafe® Network Management Software’s heartbeat. You can
configure what appears by default as described in the NMS200 User
Guide.
You can also use the up/down/top/bottom arrows to reorder selected rows, reordering
what activities discovery executes. Regardless of the row order, however,
device-based tasks run first, and group-based tasks (like link discovery) run last,
since groups depend on their member information.
Clicking Reorder moves the activities with Select checked to the top of the list.
6. After you have configured this tab, you can click the Discover button.
7. Discover. Clicking the Discover button executes the discovery you have configured, storing
the information retrieved from devices in the NMS200 NETGEAR®
ProSafe® Network
Management Software database.
Clicking this button displays a standard NMS200 NETGEAR® ProSafe® Network
Management Software audit screen. This displays the messages between the network
management software and the discovered devices, including the post-discovery
activities. Select a message in the top of the screen to see the time and date it occurred in
mid-screen, and the contents of some messages in the Message Details panel at the
bottom of this screen. See Audit Trails for details of how to revisit this screen after
discovery is complete.
