Getting Started Wizard

Discovering Devices

This part of the wizard will guide you through setting up the default device discovery task. PerleVIEW uses device discovery as the method by which it adds devices to its internal database. Before a device can be monitored or controlled, it must first be added to the PerleVIEW device database. To see more information on the Device Discovery task see Discovering Devices .

Click on the Next button to continue.

Discover devices	Run the default discovery task instance immediately after completing the
immediately	Getting Started Wizard.
Automatically	If you have devices on the same physical subnet as the PerleVIEW server,
discover devices	this will allow PerleVIEW to automatically discover all of these devices. If
on local network	your devices reside on a different subnet then the PerleVIEW server, you can
	disable this option.
Specify device	When the default device discovery task is run, this list will be used to
addresses	discover devices by hostnames, specific IP addresses, range of IP addresses
manually	or an IP subnet. Depending on the scope of the discovery, the process may
	take a long time to complete.
Use default	Device Credentials are used by PerleVIEW to gain access to the device in
device	order to retrieve information from the device or write information to the
credentials	device.
	Select this checkbox if you want to use the “global” device credentials for
	the default discovery task instance.
	If this option is unchecked, you can enter the device credentials to be used
	with the default discovery task instance. These values will be tried first, if
	they are not valid, the task will attempt the “global” credentials.
Automatically	If PerleVIEW is configured as an SNMP trap host for this device, when the
discover device	device sends a trap to PerleVIEW, this will cause PerleVIEW to add the
when SNMP	device to its database (i.e. automatically discover the device). When this
trap is received	happens, the global parameters are used for protocol timers and credential
from that device	validation.
