Dell OpenManage Network Manager Quick Start Guide 5.0 - Page 9

2 After this beginning, if you clicked the Resource Discovery button, the Quick Discovery screen appears where you can enter device identifiers (typically IP Address(es)), and authentications, then execute discovery. The Quick Discovery screen can also discover the default Discovery profile if you have configured one already. If you clicked New in the Discovery portlet, the Discovery Profile Editor appears, with a stepby-step set of screens to configure resource discovery, as described below. You can navigate through the Profile Editor by clicking the screen tab names at the top, or by clicking the Next button at the bottom of the page. Discovery Profile Editor Use this editor to configure discovery. Baseline discovery is the initial discovery to compare to later discoveries. Follow these steps to discover equipment on your network: General 3 General Parameters-Set the Name, Description and whether this profile is the baseline default. 4 Profile Options-Select the Device Naming Format (how the device appears in lists, once discovered), whether to Manage by IP address or hostname, and check whether to Resolve Hostname(s), ICMP Ping Device(s), Manage ICMP-only Device(s), or Manage Unclassified Device(s). This last checkbox determines whether Dell OpenManage Network Manager attempts to manage devices that have no device driver installed. Management may be possible, but more limited than for devices with drivers installed, provided this capability is one you have licensed. The Filters (by Location, Vendor, or Device Type) let you narrow the list of devices discovered by the selected item(s). As the screen says, this filtering will not have any impact on the processing that occurs during the Inspection step. CAUTION: Model numbers may change when you upgrade. You may need to change any pre-existing filters that refer to model numbers. These may not change until you perform a resync on some devices. Network 5 After you click Next, the Network screen appears. Network Type and Addresses-Select the type of entry in the pick list (IP Address(es), CIDR Address, Hostname, SNMP Broadcast, Subnet). Tip You can specify an IP Address range by separating the beginning and end with a dash. For example: 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.240. The tooltips in the data entry field describe what valid entries look like. 7
