toptools User Guide Toptools uses many mechanisms for discovery, including reading the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache on routers (gateways). To access ARP information from routers, the toptools server needs the correct SNMP read community to access the information. By default, the router, or gateway, specified within Windows TCP/IP properties on the toptools server is entered. Specify its SNMP read community name, and the address and corresponding communities of any other routers you would like toptools to contact for ARP cache discovery. You will then be asked to select the discovery methods to use and when to schedule discoveries. This dialog allows you to configure which types of discovery you would like toptools to run, and on which schedule. To maximize performance and reduce network traffic, you should only enable discovery types that your network or environment supports. You must enable either IP or IPX discovery. Schedule discovery for a time when most PCs are powered on. 29

Toptools uses many mechanisms for discovery, including reading the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache on
routers (gateways). To access ARP information from routers, the toptools server needs the correct SNMP read
community to access the information.
By default, the router, or gateway, specified within Windows TCP/IP
properties on the toptools server is entered.
Specify its SNMP read community name, and the address and
corresponding communities of any other routers you would like toptools to contact for ARP cache discovery.
You will then be asked to select the discovery methods to use and when to schedule discoveries.
This dialog allows you to configure which types of discovery you would like toptools to run, and on which schedule.
To maximize performance and reduce network traffic, you should only enable discovery types that your network or
environment supports. You must enable either IP or IPX discovery. Schedule discovery for a time when most PCs
are powered on.
