want to use. For example, you may want to discover only IP networks. The
types are:

■

IP—Discovers all IP devices in your network.

•

Ping Discovery—Ping packets are sent to discover every device on
the subnet.

•

Web Server Discovery—All IP addresses are checked to discover if
the device contains a Web Server. Management Stations are also
discovered.

•

WMI (WBEM) Discovery—Checks for PCs that support WMI.

■

IPX—Locates all IPX devices in your network.

■

Segment and Hub Topology—Discovers how the segments are connected
in the network.
