3 IP discovery profiles

Scheduling discovery

You can create multiple schedules (to a maximum of 32) for each profile. When it is time for a schedule to run, discovery handles schedules in the following manner:

•If discovery is already running for the profile, the scheduled discovery drops.

•If discovery is already running for a different profile, the scheduled discovery is queued. Once all discovery jobs in the queue finish, the scheduled discovery runs.

•If no discovery is running, the scheduled discovery starts.

To schedule a discovery profile, complete the following steps.

1.Select Discover > IP Products.

The Discover Setup - IP dialog box displays.

2.Click the Profiles tab

3.Select the profile you want to edit in the Discovery Profiles table and click the Scheduling tab.
