Enable Discovery using TCP/IP Subnet Sweep

You can configure to use a local or remote subnet sweep. The default setting is for a local subnet.

The discovery service broadcasts and retrieves all the information of the local subnet machines as well as manually defined subnets and manually defined machines. To add a machine name (IP address) manually, you select the Windows Domain tab and enter the machine name (IP address) for the machine.

The discovery service can then ping, publish, and return a product list from the specified machine.

You can also manually add a remote subnet by accessing the Subnet tab and adding the remote subnet address. The discovery service then enables to publish its product list to each machine to the specific subnet and also return product information for every machine in this subnet.

If you choose to perform an auto discovery, the discovery service will ping and publish a product list to each machine in each subnet listed in the Discovery Configuration Subnet tab and retrieve the product information from the remote machine.

For more information on configuring to use a local or remote subnet sweep, see the Administration Guide.
