Configure the options on the Discovery Settings view, as detailed in the
following steps.
a. Provide a Name and Description to distinguish the current discovery
profile from other profiles you may use to discover other network areas.
Note: This Description displays next to the Name in the list of available
network discovery configurations on the Network Sonar view.
b. Position the slider or type a value, in ms, to set the SNMP Timeout.
Note: If you are encountering numerous SNMP timeouts during Network
Discovery, increase the value for this setting. The SNMP Timeout should
be at least a little more than double the time it takes a packet to travel
the longest route between devices on your network.
c. Position the slider or type a value, in ms, to set the Search Timeout.
Note: The Search Timeout is the amount of time Network Sonar Discovery
waits to determine if a given IP address has a network device assigned to
it.
d. Position the slider or type a value to set the number of SNMPRetries.
Note: This value is the number of times Network Sonar Discovery will
retry a failed SNMP request, defined as any SNMP request that does not
receive a response within the SNMP Timeout defined above.
e. Position the slider or type a value to set the Hop Count.
Note: If the Hop Count is greater than zero, Network Sonar Discovery
searches for devices connected to any discovered device. Each
connection to a discovered device counts as a hop.
f. Position the slider or type a value to set the Discovery Timeout.
Note: The Discovery Timeout is the amount of time, in minutes, Network
Sonar Discovery is allowed to complete a network discovery. If a discovery
takes longer than the Discovery Timeout, the discovery is terminated.
13. If you only want to use SNMP to discover devices on your network, check
Use SNMP only.
Note: By default, Network Sonar uses ICMP ping requests to locate devices.
Most information about monitored network objects is obtained using SNMP
queries.
14. If multiple Orion polling engines are available in your environment, select
the Polling Engine you want to use for this discovery.
