The following sections provide an overview of some key NetSight Element Manager
functions.
Network Discovery
The Discover application provides several key features; among these are:
Discover Script Capability
By creating Discover scripts, you can store the parameters of a discovery from one
management session to the next, so that you can repeat a configured discovery session at
any time.
Subnet Discovery
The Discover application is capable of searching based on a subnet address, rather than
requiring that a range of IP addresses be specified (although you can enter a range if
desired). You can also configure multiple subnets or IP address ranges to be discovered
within the same script.
Scheduled Discovery
By linking Discover scripts with the Scheduler application, you can automate the Discover
application so that it will run unattended at periodic intervals.
