15.2.1 Specifying search conditions (discovery from IP address)

You can specify search conditions for discovering network devices.

To specify search conditions:

1. Display the Settings module.

2. In the menu area, select Discovery, Configurations, and then IP Address Range.

3. In Search Node Locations, specify the IP addresses for the discovery range.

   The discovery range named Management Server Segment is set by default. The management server segment is a segment that contains a management server.

   To add a discovery range, click the Add IP Address Range button. To modify an existing discovery range, click the Edit button associated with the discovery range name. Whether adding or editing a discovery range, a dialog box appears in which you can set the IP addresses to serve as the start and end of the discovery range.

   After setting the IP addresses, you can then set credentials in Credentials Used. If no credentials are registered, perform step 4 first.

   To use all registered credentials, select Any. To apply only some credentials, click Select and select from the credentials registered in Windows or SNMP.

4. In Credentials Used, specify credentials.

   Specify credentials if you want to perform a search by using credentials. After registering the credentials, in Search Node Locations, assign credentials to each discovery range.

   For details about credentials, see 15.2.3 Credentials used in discovery from IP address.

5. Edit Auto Discovery Schedule.

   If you want to regularly perform searches according to a determined schedule, click the Edit button and specify the schedule.

   If no schedule is set, discovery will not take place automatically. In this case, you can initiate it as needed by clicking the Start Discovery button.

6. Edit Edit Discovery Option.

   Specify operations for cases in which a new device is discovered after the device search.

   Click the Edit button for the discovery option of a discovered device, and set the discovery option in the Edit Discovery Option dialog box that appears. The available options include adding the device as a managed node and automatically distributing the agent to the device.

7. Edit Notification of Discovery Completion.

   To send a notification email to administrators of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 after the completion of device discovery, specify the recipients.

   If you have not set information for the mail server (SMTP server) to be used, in the view that is displayed by clicking the link SMTP Server, set the mail server information.

The settings for the search conditions are completed.

If you want to immediately start searching with the specified search conditions, click the Start Discovery button. If you do not perform an immediate search, the search is performed according to the Auto Discovery Schedule.

To check the search execution status and results, in the Settings module, select Last Discovery Log, and then the IP Address Range view.
