Chapter 6 Setting Up Discovery and Device Management—CiscoWorks 1105/1130/1130-19

Configuring Discovery Options

Configuring Discovery Options

Discovery options allow you to enable automatic management of all discovered devices, specify use of device names in displays, and use MAC address filtering for management of access points. This step is optional.

To configure discovery options, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Select Devices > Discover > DISCOVER > Advanced Options.

a.If you want device names in WLSE displays, instead of their IP addresses, select Use Reverse DNS lookup.

b.To enable automatic management for all discovered devices, select Auto-Manage Devices. Otherwise, you must move devices to the managed state after they have been discovered.

c.To arrange temporary management of access points, you can configure MAC filtering. For information, see the online help or the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7.

d.Click Save.

Step 2 To set up IP filters for limiting discovery to certain devices, select Devices > Discover > DISCOVER > IP Filter Rules and follow the instructions in the online help or the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7.

Discovering Devices

Use the procedures in this section to discover devices by using CDP or device import:

Use the discovery wizard to run a CDP discovery—See Run CDP Discovery, page 6-8.
