Discovery Type Pane

This is the first pane of the wizard:

Figure 29 Discovery Type Pane

It allows you to specify how the list of subnets to discover is determined:

■Local subnet – Select this radio button and click Next to discover only the subnet to which the 3Com Network Director PC is attached. The discovery process queries the operating system to determine the subnet mask for the local subnet. The wizard moves onto the Monitor Core Devices and Links pane. (See Monitor Core Devices and Links Pane on page 117.) This means that you cannot specify IP ranges when using this option. If you wish to specify ranges for the local subnet discovery you will need to use the Specify Subnets option and add the details of the local subnet to the list of subnets to discover.

■LAN subnets connected to the default router or gateway - Select this radio button and click Next to discover all devices on the local subnet (to which the 3Com Network Director PC is attached) and any additional subnets that are one router hop away (but only via LAN connections). 3Com Network Director establishes which subnets are one hop away by querying the default router. As with the Local Subnet option it is not possible to specify the IP address ranges for the subnets to be discovered.
