Figure 9-8. Discovery Parameters menu

•Enable IP: This option enables the IP protocol. If not, FastManage will not perform any SNMP over IP operation. This protocol is checked if IP was selected during setup.

•Use DNS: If the Use DNS is checked and the IP/NetBIOS protocols are all enabled, FastManage may be unable to resolve a NetBIOS name (for example, SNMP0702CA). Turn the Use DNS option “Off” if this is the case.

The “Enable IP” parameter must be selected to enable this option. Not checked by default.

•Poll IP Range: If this selection is selected, the software “polls” all 254 hosts of the subnet (from X.Y.Z.1 to X.Y.Z.254). The “Enable IP” parameter must be selected to enable this option. Checked by default.

•Do IP Broadcast: If this parameter is chosen, the software performs discovery through SNMP over IP broadcast. The “Enable IP” parameter must be selected to enable this option. Checked by default.

•Every: If this parameter is enabled and a time is set, the software “broadcasts” every <n> seconds to discover new devices. The “Enable IP” option must be selected to enable this option. Not checked and 120 seconds are the defaults.
