Individual IP device discovery
Simple discovery discovers the device with a specific IP address. It is triggered by device
configuration changes on SNMP traps, certain configuration deployments to a device, and adding
device or rediscovering a device.

3. Choose one of the following options:
Enter the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of the IP device in the Network Address field.
Enter the host name or DNS name (up to 64 characters) of the IP device in the Network
Address field.
NOTE
The Management application does not validate the Network address until you save your work.
4. Select one of the following options:
Try only configured Discovery SNMP settings — Select to use the SNMP settings configured
in the Global Settings tab to contact the device.
Also try these settings — Select to use specific SNMP settings to contact the device. If you
do not enter SNMP settings or if the settings do not authenticate on the device, the
application uses the SNMP settings configured in the Global Settings tab to contact the
device.
