b.

Click Resource Management on the navigation tree on the left.

c.

Click Auto Discovery under Resource Management from the navigation system on the left.

2.

Confirm that you are in Advanced mode.
The dialog box title should read Select Auto Discovery Mode and the breadcrumb trail should read
Resource > Auto Discovery (Advanced).
If not, then click

Go to Advanced located on the far right of the Auto Discovery page.

3.

Select any one of the first three auto discovery options you want to use by clicking on the radio

button to the left of the discovery mode.
Options include:

Routing-Based: This option searches the routing tables of all reachable routers for manageable

network devices.

ARP(ND)-Based: This option searches the ARP tables or the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol for
manageable network devices.

IPsec VPN-Based: This option searches IPsec VPN devices for manageable network devices.

Network Segment-Based: This option searches for manageable devices by the specified IP address
range.

PPP-Based: This option searches the Peer-to-Peer Protocol for manageable network devices.

4.

Click Next.

Hop Count: The Hop Count parameter defines the maximum number of network node hops IMC
traverses in the discovery process. The valid value can be 1 through 7.

CAUTION:

The larger the hop count, the more the discovery process consumes system and network resources,
including bandwidth, and the longer the discovery process takes. Exercise the hop count configuration

parameter with caution.

5.

To configure the hop count, select the hop count number from the Hop Count list.

Login Type: This option defines how IMC logs into the discovered device.

Options include Telnet, SSH, and None.

6.

Select login type from the Login Type list.
The discovered devices must be configured to support the login type you select.

7.

Loopback Address as Manager IP: To select the Loopback address for the management of the
discovered device, click the checkbox to the left of Loopback Address as Manager IP.
Discover Non-SNMP Devices: IMC can manage devices that do not support SNMP.

8.

If you do not want IMC to manage these devices, click the checkbox to the left of Discover
Non-SNMP Devices.
The Discover Non-SNMP Devices option is not available for IPsec VPN-Based auto discovery.
Scan one by one in the Segment: This option configures IMC to discover every device in the
configured network segment. This option does not appear if you select the IPsec VPN-based or

ARP(ND)-based auto discovery option. This is a very time consuming method for auto discovery, as

IMC pings every IP address in the segment serially and adds only the devices that respond to the

ping request.

9.

To select the auto discovery option described above, click the checkbox to the left of Scan one
by one in the Segment.
