Discovering Your Network
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.
