Discover by DHCP Tag

Getting Started

5Click on OK to search for agents or gateways. Once the search has finished, a report will show the clients detected by HP Device Manager.

6Click Close to automatically add the successful IP addresses to the Device Pane.

An agent can automatically register with a gateway based on the content of a DHCP tag it receives during start-up. Add option 202 to DHCP server and set the value to "<Server IP> <Gateway IP>". (The Server IP and Gateway IP is the IP address of the server running the Management Server and Gateway respectively.) Please refer to “Configuring DHCP Servers” on page 30 for details on how to configure DHCP Server and add options.

Agent Configuration

You can manually add the IP address of the gateway to the agent's configuration file so that the agent can search for the gateway auto- matically.

To Configure Windows XP Embedded Agents:
