Step6 (Optional) Specify the extent of the network discovery.
•To discover the entire network, select the Entire Network checkbox. This is
called recursive discovery, and it is the default setting. Select this checkbox
when you run Discovery for the very first time.
With this checkbox selected, SGM discovers all seed nodes and attempts to
manage them; then attempts to discover and manage all ITP nodes that are
adjacent to those seed nodes (unless the nodes are connected by serial links
only); then attempts to discover and manage all ITP nodes that are adjacent
to those nodes; and so on, until SGM has discovered the entire network.
•To rediscover only seed nodes, clear the Entire Network checkbox. This is
called nonrecursive discovery.
With this checkbox cleared, SGM discovers all seed nodes and attempts to
manage them, then labels all nodes that are adjacent to those seed nodes
Unmanaged.
