Enhancing the Discovery Process
Discovery tries to locate network devices using broadcast requests, and
downloads Routing and ARP tables from any found SNMP devices. You
can speed up this process and make it more reliable by using Starting
Addresses, or Seeds. A seed address is normally the address of an
accessible SNMP router. To add one or more seeds, use the
Config/Discovery Agents menu and perform the following steps:
•
Select the agent IP address from the Agents list box.
•
Select the Seeds property page.
•
Enter the IP or IPX address of the seed device (usually an accessible
SNMP router).
•
Press the Add button to add the seed to the list of seeds.
•
Repeat the above two steps for any more seed addresses.
When you are done adding seeds for all agents, press the OK button to save
your changes. In most cases, discovery will soon locate more devices and
add them to your network map.
