7. Use the File/Reset menu to delete the current map and restart discovery with the new filters.

Stopping Discovery Auto-Layout

Left unattended, discovery constantly rearranges your top-level map as new devices are added. This is undesirable if you want to manually change the map layout. To control discovery layout, use the Config/Discovery-Polling menu and do one of the following:

•Clear the Enable Discovery check box to disable further discovery.

•Select Discovered Objects from the Layout pull-down to add any new objects to a subnet named Discovered Objects instead of the top-level map.

•Select Top Level/Incremental from the Layout pull-down to add any new objects to the top- level using an incremental layout algorithm. The existing layout will not be disturbed.

8.Use the Test Interval and Test Retries edit boxes to set the time between checks of the primary server by the backup server and how many times to retry before taking over polling.
