Table 22: Names Discovery Options
Field Name Description
Update names
for existing
entries This determines whether Discovery updates the names for nodes
already listed in the Network Map. Possible states are:
●
Update - Discovery updates the names of all discovered nodes.
User defined names are replaced by the best name discovered.
●
Don’t Update - The names of existing entries in the Network Map
are not replaced.
Select best
name
sequence This determines the order Discovery uses to define names for
discovered nodes. Discovery can use the following sources to
determine the name of a node:
●
IP - The IP address of the node.
●
SNMP system name - The value assigned to the device’s
sysName MIB.
●
Name Service - The name assigned to the node via a Name
Service application.
Possible orders are:
●
IP - Discovery will use the IP address of the node as its name.
●
SNMP sysName > IP - If there is an SNMP system name,
Discovery will use it as the node’s name. Otherwise, Discovery
will use the node’s IP address.
●
Name Service > SNMP sysName > IP - If there is a Name
Service defined name, Discovery will use it as the node’s name. If
there is no Name Service defined name, but there is an SNMP
system name, Discovery will use it as the node’s name.
Otherwise, Discovery will use the node’s IP address.
●
SNMP sysName > Name Service > IP - If there is an SNMP
system name, Discovery will use it as the node’s name. If there is
no SNMP system name, but there is a Name Service defined
name, Discovery will use it as the node’s name. Otherwise,
Discovery will use the node’s IP address.
