Primary Router/Default Gateway Discovery Secondary Router Discover Figure 12 Router Discover Configuration window To perform a default gateway discovery, check this box. In most cases PrinterMap automatically fills-in the local machine's default gateway IP address. The discover process walks the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache of the gateway and identify those IP addresses belonging to SNMP enabled printers. To perform a secondary router discovery, check this box. IP addresses of multiple secondary routers may be specified. The discover process walks the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache of each router and identifies those IP addresses belonging to SNMP enabled printers. NOTE: Gateways/Routers can be configured to maintain a static or dynamic arp cache. If set to dynamic, this arp cache is regularly flushed of information and allowed to re-build. In some networks, this arp cache purge occurs every few seconds. To use the arp cache to discover networked printers, ensure that the target router is configured with a reasonable amount of time between cache purges. This provides PrinterMap access to a cache with a larger sampling of IP addresses. Thus, discovery of the majority of printers on the network is more likely. Preferred Server IPX To discover network printers via IPX, check the IPX box and fill the Server Name input area with the NetWare preferred server name. In most cases PrinterMap retrieves the local machine's preferred server name and auto-populates the Server Name field. During discovery, PrinterMap identifies all NetWare printer objects on that server, confirms them to be network printers supported by PrinterMap, and adds them to the PrinterMap topology. The user may define additional NetWare server names, however PrinterMap only discovers PrinterMap User Guide 24

Figure 12 Router Discover Configuration window
To perform a default gateway discovery, check this box. In most cases PrinterMap
automatically fills-in the local machine’s default gateway IP address. The discover
process walks the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache of the gateway and
identify those IP addresses belonging to SNMP enabled printers.
To perform a secondary router discovery, check this box. IP addresses of multiple
secondary routers may be specified. The discover process walks the ARP (Address
Resolution Protocol) cache of each router and identifies those IP addresses
belonging to SNMP enabled printers.
NOTE:
Gateways/Routers can be configured to maintain a static or dynamic arp
cache. If set to dynamic, this arp cache is regularly flushed of
information and allowed to re-build. In some networks, this arp cache
purge occurs every few seconds. To use the arp cache to discover
networked printers, ensure that the target router is configured with a
reasonable amount of time between cache purges. This provides
PrinterMap access to a cache with a larger sampling of IP addresses.
Thus, discovery of the majority of printers on the network is more
likely.
IPX
To discover network printers via IPX, check the IPX box and fill the Server Name
input area with the NetWare preferred server name.
In most cases PrinterMap retrieves the local machine’s preferred server name and
auto-populates the Server Name field. During discovery, PrinterMap identifies all
NetWare printer objects on that server, confirms them to be network printers
supported by PrinterMap, and adds them to the PrinterMap topology. The user
may define additional NetWare server names, however PrinterMap only discovers
