About Discovery
Chapter 4 Discovering and Managing Objects 75
If you select this option, PATROL DashBoard will send packets to all of the IP
addresses of the network. Because it browses all of the IP addresses, this method
detects devices that do not respond to the broadcast.
8 (optional) If you want to restrict discovery to devices that have not already been
discovered, select the
Discover only New Devices check box.
9 (optional) If you want all the discovered devices to be automatically inserted into
the navigation tree under
Network, select the Move Devices in “Network” Root
Domain
check box.
10 (optional) If you want to run this discovery regularly, specify a schedule:
A Select the Scheduling check box.
B In Recurrence, select how often you want the discovery to be run:
—
Daily: run each day
— Weekly on: run on the day of the week selected in the associated list box
— Monthly on the: run once a month on the date selected in the associated list box
(31 always means the last day of the month)
C In Start Time, specify the time of day for the discovery to occur.
11 Click the appropriate one of the following buttons:
■ Start Discovery to start discovery immediately
■ Apply Changes to save a scheduled discovery
You can interrupt the discovery by clicking
Stop Discovery.
NOTE
If you do not select Move Devices in “Network” Root Domain, the devices will be
displayed in the navigation tree under the current discovery entry, and you must
activate monitoring separately for each device by moving it under the Network
root or under a domain. Also, no statistics values will be generated for these
devices. These objects are not saved on the disk and are deleted from the
Generic
Discovery
directory the next time PATROL DashBoard is launched.
For instructions for moving devices, see “Assigning Devices to Domains” on
page 83.
