Beginning Discovery
Discovery is the process of identifying the devices in your network and
determining how these devices are connected. The discovered devices are
displayed in the Devices page and added to a devices database maintained by
HP TopTools to represent your network. HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches
can discover network devices that have valid IP or IPX addresses. Such
devices include:
I
HP's manageable hubs, bridges and switches that have valid IP or IPX
addresses.
I
Third-party ("multivendor") devices that have valid IP or IPX addresses
and support SNMP (for example, hubs and bridges from other vendors).
These nodes may not be mapped or managed with HP TopTools.
I
Devices that have IP or IPX addresses, even if they do not support SNMP.
(For example, IPX workstations and fileservers).
I
Other devices, including HP JetDirect printers and plotters (IP or IPX).
Discovery is a resource-intensive process and may take some time.
To begin discovering the devices in your network, click on the Settings button
in the navigation frame and select Discovery from the menu. The Settings -
Discovery page displays.
