9.1 Introduction to Discovery
Discovery detects SNMP manageable devices over IP, IPX, and NetBEUI
(NetBIOS) networks. On IP networks, Discovery supports and performs
the following:
Reads entries from a local host table and sends an SNMP query to each
one of them
Pings to a local broadcast address to detect all devices
Using the subnet mask and the IP address of the device, detects all of
the devices in the current subnet
Through SNMP traps, FastPort sends a “power-on trap” at power-up if
they are configured with a manager address
Discovery options are user configurable and are stored in the issnmp.ini
file. Discovery uses icons to identify an SNMP device on the Map:
Click once on the icon to display information for a device
Double-click on the thumbnail to launch a device
