Network Resources Discovery

Network discovery makes the process of identifying and setting up your TCP/IP resources for monitoring easy and quick. CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP provides a code-free, menu-driven method of defining the resources on your network—you do not have to build or write procedures to learn and discover your network.

Network discovery happens when you start a region for the first time and invokes Express Setup. The process discovers resources based on criteria such as number of hops and the IP starting address. These resources are added to the database, with details about how to manage and monitor them.
