How to Discover Devices in Your Network › Discover Using the Trap-Based Discovery Method

Discover Using the Trap-Based Discovery Method

After you perform a full discovery using the full discovery method, you can discover new devices that are added to the network using the automatic discovery method. With this method, you enable CA Spectrum to process unmanaged traps coming from the devices and the traps are used to discover the devices automatically.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the OneClick console.
2. Select Explorer from the Navigation pane and perform the following actions:
   1. Expand your landscape.
   2. Click Universe.
3. Select Topology, and click the VNM model type.

   The VNM model on the OneClick console represents the host computer running CA Spectrum.

4. Perform the following actions in the Component Detail pane:
   1. Select Information.
   2. Expand AutoDiscovery Control.
   3. Expand Trap Based Continuous Discovery.
   4. Enable Unmanaged Trap Discovery.

The new devices are discovered and modeled. You can view them in the OneClick console.

Note: Traps from the already discovered and modeled devices are not considered for discovery.
