discovery process. It allows you to view the
Discovery
report, using the
View Report
button, to find out what the problems were. Note that this
button will be disabled if no problems were encountered.
Network Misconfigurations:
When the discovery process is complete
3Com Network Director analyses the results in an attempt to establish if
any part of your network has been misconfigured. This could be due to
the way a device is set up or the way it is connected to another device.
The number of misconfigurations detected is shown here. You can view
the
Misconfigurations and Optimizations
report, using the
View Report
button, to find out what the problems are. Note that this button will be
disabled if no misconfigurations were detected. Also note that this
analysis is performed against the whole, updated map, not just the parts
that were discovered in the recently completed discovery.
Network Optimizations:
As part of the post-discovery analysis, 3Com
Network Director looks for any areas of your network that could be
improved. The number of potential optimizations is shown here. You can
view the
Misconfigurations and Optimizations
report, using the
View
Report
button, to find out what the suggestions are. Note that this
button will be disabled if there are no suggested optimizations. Also note
that this analysis is performed against the whole, updated map, not just
the parts that were discovered in the recently completed discovery.
Network Changes:
This entry will only be displayed on the dialog box
for a rediscovery of a non-empty map. It indicates the number of changes
detected, such as new devices, compared to the contents of your existing
map. You can view the
Changes
report, using the associated
View Report
button, to find out what the changes are. Note that this button will be
disabled if no changes were detected.
If you choose not to view any of these reports at this point in time, you
can view them later from the history tab of the
Tools > Reports
dialog
box. The reports are saved with your current map. See
“Creating
Reports”
on
page 453
for further information.
When you close this dialog box, using the
OK
button, your map will be
updated to reflect the changes detected by the discovery process.
The Discovery Report
The
Discovery
report is produced at the end of a successful discovery, that
is, a discovery that was not cancelled. It lists any problems that the
discovery process encountered while performing the discovery. Typically
