Deploying Existing Network Objects Using IP Auto Discovery
Deploying Existing Network Objects Using IP Auto Discovery
The Cisco EMF Auto Discovery application is used to search an existing network. The network is
examined for IP and SNMP devices. An object is created for each new device discovered. The Discover
Network Devices window is used to perform IP Auto Discovery.
To deploy objects using IP auto discovery, perform the following:
Step 1
Launch the Discover Network Devices window by completing one of the following:
•
From the Cisco EMF Launchpad (
Figure 3-2
), click the Discovery icon.
•
From the MapViewer application, right–click an object and choose Deployment/Auto Discovery...
When first launched, the IP Discovery window resembles the following example:

IP Discovery Window
The contents of this window depend on how the window was launched. For example, if this window was
launched from an object in the Physical containment view, then the Physical Location parameter would
be automatically set to the location from which the window was launched, as shown in the preceding
figure.
