Specifying IP Addresses to Ping
If you select Ping SNMP as a discovery method, you must specify one or more ranges of IP addresses to ping. The more specific you define the ranges, the more efficient the discovery process.
To add a range of IP addresses:
1.Under Enter IP Address Range, click a blank row in the table.
2.In the Start and End IP Address boxes, enter the appropriate IP addresses.
3.Click Add.
To edit a range of IP addresses:
1.Under Enter IP Address Range, click the existing row in the table.
2.In the Start and End IP Address boxes, change the IP addresses.
3.Click Modify.
To delete a range of IP addresses:
Under Enter IP Address Range, click the existing row in the table. Then, click Delete.
Specifying Discovery of IP Devices Only
Selecting Discover IP Devices Only prevents the discovery process from attempting to find a Novell NetWare server, and subsequently any IPX devices. Since PATROL can monitor only IP devices, selecting this option enables the discovery process to operate more efficiently and, thus, more quickly. This feature is beneficial whether or not your network environment includes Novell NetWare.
Note: The use of this feature is designed as optional since other Canon network products may have different discovery operation requirements.
