Discovery
The Device Settings screen allows you to change global parameters for the device discovery task.
You can create filters to limit the scope of the device discovery task. This is done by configuring
which specific IP addresses or range of addresses you want to exclude from the discovery.
Additionally, you can configure the default setting for the “automatically discover devices when
SNMP trap is received from that device”.
Lastly, at the time of device discovery, you can have the PerleVIEW add its IP address to the
device’s list of SNMP trap hosts. This will ensure that PerleVIEW receives notifications whenever a
trap is generated by the device.
These changes do not affect existing device discovery task instances. They will be used the next time
you set up a new device discovery task instance.
