Network Discovery Properties Dialog Box: Subnets Tab

Use this tab to specify the subnets that Network Discovery can search. "Enabled" in the Search field means the subnet will be searched the next time Network Discovery runs.

Subnets to search
The subnets that you want to search during Network Discovery.
Subnet
A subnet number in IP format (for example, 131.24.10.0). This number can contain wildcards.

When Network Discovery discovers resources in a subnet, that subnet is designated with a padlock icon. These subnets cannot be deleted, but they can be disabled so that they are not searched.

Mask
The subnet mask for the subnet number (for example, 255.255.255.0).
Name
The subnet's name, if applicable (not all subnets have names, and a name is not needed for Network Discovery to work).
Search
"Enabled" means the subnet will be searched the next time Network Discovery runs; "Disabled" means it will not be searched.
Picture of Create Button
Click to open the Subnet Assignment dialog box to add a new entry to the Subnets to search list.

Note    Specifying a subnet does not guarantee that it will be searched. For more information, see Which Subnets Are Searched?.

Picture of Modify Button
Click to open the Subnet Assignment dialog box to change the properties of the selected subnet. If no subnet is selected, this button is disabled.
Picture of Delete Button
Click to delete the selected subnet, unless it was found by Network Discovery. If it was found, the subnet will re-appear when this dialog box is re-opened. If no subnet is selected, this button is disabled.
Picture of Search Button
Click to toggle the searching of the selected subnets; those that are enabled are disabled and vice versa. If no subnet is selected, this button is disabled.
Search local subnets
Searches subnets containing the server running Network Discovery. By default, this option is enabled.
