NOTE: For PC-Connected device discoveries, HP Web Jetadmin follows SNMP queries with WMI queries when no SNMP Proxy Agent has been detected on the remote host.

Specified Device Address Discoveries for Network Devices

Network device discovery queries each address in the list specified. Devices qualified through these queries are added to the All Devices list.

Characteristics of Specified Device Address discoveries for network devices include:

●Specified device address discoveries find devices based on user supplied addresses.

●IP address or hostnames are valid address forms.

●HP Web Jetadmin initially qualifies the device by using an SNMP query.

●Follow-up queries through SNMP qualify the device and place it into the All Devices list if appropriate.

●This discovery is very fast and only hits the addresses specified by the user.

●This discovery is only as accurate as the address base specified by the user.

●Addresses can be entered into HP Web Jetadmin one by one or they can be imported from text file.

●In HP Web Jetadmin, addresses can be exported to text file.

Specified Device Address Discoveries for PC-Connected Devices

Specified Address discoveries for PC-Connected devices first send an SNMP query to all addresses within the list of addresses. If SNMP communication is possible on a device, the discovery attempts to find a locally connected printer. If no SNMP communication is possible and if the user provided administrative credentials, the discovery will attempt to find a locally connected printer on the device using WMI protocol.

Characteristics of Specified Device Address discoveries for PC-Connected devices include:

●Specified address scan is the same as network connected.

●Nodes representing hosts are detected.

●SNMP queries are attempted on discovered nodes.

●If no SNMP Proxy Agent response, WMI queries are performed when credentials exist in settings.

Details About Running a Specified Device Addresses Discovery
