Chapter 6 Performing Administrative 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 devices that you add in this dialog box will be retained so that you can use them for subsequent scheduled and immediate discoveries.

Device names must resolve to your local DNS in order to translate device 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 characters, 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.
