Re-Discovering Already Discovered Devices

By default, the rediscovery process discovers only devices that were not discovered previously. It does not redis- cover the already discovered devices. To rediscover already discovered devices:

1.Click on Tools > Discovery Administration at the top of the screen. Then, click on Discover Patton Devices in the menu tree of the Discovery window.

2.Click on the General tab, then select the checkbox for Re-Discover Already Discovered. By default, this option is disabled.

3.Click Apply. This change will take place the next time the NMS goes through the re-discovery process. (See “Scheduling Rediscovery” on page 39).

Re-Discovering Cards Manually

You should re-discover cards after changing a card’s configuration, or if you have added a new chassis or devices to the network. To manually re-discover cards:

1.Right-click on the device icon. You can do this in the Geographical Area, Network Node, Chassis, or Card sections of Network Maps.

2.Select Re-Discover Cards from the pull-down menu.A window displays with information about the card(s), including IP address, netmask, and SNMP Agent port.

3.Click Re-Discover. A message displays at the bottom of the box: “This action will take a few minutes.

Please watch the status message. Status: Re-discovering...”
