Client Discovery Getting Started HP Management Agent Broadcast Clients which have the HP Management Agent installed must be 'discovered' by HP Device Manager before they can be used. There are four approaches to client discovery: • Through an HP Management Agent Broadcast (automatic) • Server-side discovery using IP walking • Discover Agent using DHCP Tag • Agent Configuration The HP Management Gateway will normally be able to detect most HP Management Agents. The gateway functions by listening for a network broadcast message sent when each agent starts up. However, to ensure that the gateway is able to detect all agents, it must be running before each agent is started up. If the gateway is unable to detect an agent, Discover Agent, IP walking, DHCP Tag or Agent Configuration can be used instead. Discover Agent HP Device Manager can search a range of IP addresses for agents and gateways. 1 Click on the Discover button in the Device Toolbar and select Discover Device in the menu. The Discover Device dialog will be displayed. Client Discovery 45
