3.4 FastManage - Discovery Application
The Discovery application detects network SNMP manageable devices
on 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.
¥ Pings a local broadcast address to detect all devices.
¥ Detects the current subnet devices using the subnet mask and the IP
address of the device.
¥ Through SNMP traps, FastManage sends a power-on trap at powerup
if they are conÞgured with a manager address.
Discovery options are conÞgurable and are stored in the issnmp.ini Þle.
Discovery uses the thumbnail (icon) to identify an SNMP device and then
displays it to represent the product. Click the thumbnail once to display
information for that device. Double-click the thumbnail to launch the
device.
