Discovering Your Network
Discovery Settings
The Discovery Settings pane of the Discovery tab contains:
Field or Button | Description |
|
|
Entire Network | Check box used to specify the extent of the network discovery: |
| • To discover the entire network, check this check box. This is called recursive |
| discovery, and it is the default setting. |
| With this check box checked, the MWTM discovers all seed nodes and |
| attempts to manage them; then attempts to discover and manage all nodes that |
| are adjacent to those seed nodes (unless the nodes are connected by serial links |
| only); then attempts to discover and manage all nodes that are adjacent to those |
| nodes; and so on, until the Max Hops limit is reached. |
| • To rediscover only seed nodes, uncheck this check box. This is called |
| nonrecursive discovery. |
| With this check box unchecked, the MWTM discovers all seed nodes and |
| attempts to manage them, then labels all nodes that are adjacent to those seed |
| nodes as Unmanaged. |
|
|
Delete Existing | Check box used to keep or delete the existing MWTM database when discovering |
Data | the network: |
| • To keep all existing network data in the MWTM database before rediscovering |
| the network, uncheck this check box. This is the default setting. |
| • To delete all existing network data from the MWTM database before |
| rediscovering the network, check this check box. Choose this option if you |
| know that network elements have been deleted from your network since the last |
| Discovery. |
| If you discover the network with Delete Existing Data selected, the MWTM stops |
| any |
|
|
Max Hops | The maximum number of hops from the seed node to search for other nodes to |
| discover. Default is 3. |
