3.4. Network Discovery
The main purpose of the NMS Suite is to monitor and manage the network.
Therefore it is vital for the system to be able to provide updated data recursively.
By the ALLNET NMS Suite, the system discovers the node unit by broadcasting
the SNMP packet. Active device around the network would respond to the NMS
to report their availability so that the NMS can locate them. Hence in other
words, to be able to be monitored by the NMS, these node units must have
SNMP running all the time.
In order to initiate a discovery loop, click the Start button at the top of the map.
The scanning process would begin to search for the active node unit. The
responding unit will be added to the UNPLACED APs area initially. User can then
drag and drop these unplaced units to the map with the appropriate
background map loaded. The discovery process would run recursively by the
interval set at the top right corner of the map. User can select the desired refresh
interval by selecting from the drop down list.
If you wish to stop the discovery process, click the Stop button at the top of the
map and the discovery loop will be stopped.
