Discovering Nodes

The Discover Process

Once a Discover script has been manually executed, the Discover Manager window closes, and the Network Discover window (Figure 3-12) opens.

Figure 3-12. Network Discover Window

A discover proceeds in a single phase: each IP address in the defined address ranges and/or subnets is queried in turn; as each response is received, information about the responding device (including status, model, name, and IP address) appears in the Discover window. A footer message at the bottom of the window indicates the total number of IP addresses which will be queried during the discover session, and the number of IP addresses which remain to be contacted.

When the Discover process is complete, all discovered devices which match the configured criteria are automatically added to NetSight Element Manager’s central node database. A progress indicator shows the status of this automatic integration; the Discover window also remains open after the discover is complete, allowing you to view the list of discovered nodes.
