Include Rules	Exclude Rules
Defined?	Defined?	Result
No	No	All devices are discovered.
No	Yes	All devices are discovered, but those that
		match the Exclude Rules are discarded.
Yes	No	Only devices that match the Include Rules are
		discovered.
Yes	Yes	Only devices that match the include rules are
		discovered. Devices that match the exclude
		rules are discarded.

For example, assume the IP addresses of the devices in a network are from 10.10.10.1 through 10.10.10.200:

•The include rule is 10.10.10.[40-80]

•The exclude rule is 10.10.10.[60-70]

All of the devices with the IP addresses 10.10.10.[40-80] are discovered, but those with IP addresses 10.10.10.[60-70] are discarded. Therefore, the devices discovered and retained have IP addresses 10.10.10.[40-59] and 10.10.10.[71-80].

Step 3 Click Save to save your Rules.

The Rules will take effect for all subsequent discoveries.
