Chapter6 Performing Administrati ve Tasks Using Discovery and Managing Devices
•Discover “disconnected” networks; that is, discover devices across links on
which CDP is disabled or discover devices outside the firewall.
Note Your login determines whether you can use this option.
Procedure
Step 1 Select Administration > Discover > DISCOVER > Schedule Discovery. The
Discovery - Configuring Seeds dialog box appears.
Step 2 To add seed devices, enter their comma-separated IP addresses or device names
in the Seed Values text box and click >>. Seed de vices that you add in this dialog
box will be retained so that you can use them for subseq ue nt sc hedul ed an d
immediate discoveries.
Device names must resolve to your local DNS in order to translate d evice names
to IP addresses during discovery. The requirements for entering device names are:
•Blank spaces are not allowed.
•The first character in a name must be alphanumeric
•The only valid characters are the alphanumeric charact ers, the minus sign (-),
and the period (.).
•The last character cannot be a minus or a period.
Tip You can add multiple seed devices at one time by copying and pasting seed device
names or IP address from a file.
Note Before you can proceed to the next screen, Modify Discovery Schedule,
you must have at least one seed device in the Seed Values list.
Step 3 To delete a seed device, select the IP address from the Seed Values list and click
Delete.
Step 4 Select the CDP distance from the list. Set CDP distance appropriately to discover
the entire wireless network; a CDP distance of 1 only discovers the immediate
neighbors of the seed devices.
