Rediscovery updates can occur using any of the following methods:
•
Lazy polling.
•
Adaptive discovery (triggered by snmp traps).
•
Configuration requirements
Before configuring discovery, obtain the following information:
•
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c read-write community strings or SNMPv3 read-write credentials for the
devices to be included in discovery. Make sure that devices you want to manage have the
SNMP credentials configured. For more information, refer to
•
Device IP addresses and subnets to probe during discovery. For more information, refer to
“Defining global setting preferences”
Discovery of IPv6 addresses
The Management application discovers both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of devices that have the IPv6
MIB objects implemented. The Management application discovers IPv4 addresses of devices
running IPv6 that do not have IPv6 MIB support. For more information, refer to
NOTE
IronWare IPv6 devices must support the set of MIBs presented in
on page 60. To determine
IPv6 MIB object support on the device, refer to the release notes and user documentation for your
IPv6 product.
NOTE
Third-party IPv6 devices must support the set of MIBs presented in
MIB support
IP discovery requires SNMP management information base (MIB) support on the device for
management information collection. For a list of required MIBs, refer to
