Initiating Passive Discovery
OnlyonePassiveDiscoveryPolicyDefinitionispresentintheADM.ThefirsttimeyouuseADM,youmust
setupthepolicydefinitionandstartit.
To initiate Passive Discovery
1ClickManage,andthenselectthePassiveDiscoverymenu.
2 SelectthecomponentsonwhichADMperformsPassiveDiscoveryfromtheScopeComponentfield.

onyourselection,typetheappropriateIPinformation:
 IPrange:UseNotationtotypeagroupofhostswithsimilarIPaddresses.Forexample,192.0.2.*
includesallhostswithIPsstartingwith192.0.2.Youcanalsosearchallhostsbytypinganasteriskin
