Schemas and tables for GUI discovery parameters
Use this reference information to learn to which schemas and table the settings made on the tabs of the Network Discovery Configuration page are saved.
The following table describes the tables to which the settings made on each tab of the Network Discovery Configurationpage are saved. In these tables, DOMAIN_NAME represents the name of the network domains in your deployment, for example NCOMS.
| Network Discovery Configuration tab | Description | Schema or table name |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | The zones of the network (that is, subnet ranges) that you want to include in the discovery, and the zones that you want to exclude. | DiscoScope.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg |
| Seed | The location from which to begin discovering devices. This might be one or more IP addresses, or subnet addresses. To seed the discovery, the following finders are used: Ping finder and File finder. | Ping finder: DiscoPingFinderSeeds.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg File finder: DiscoFileFinderParseRules.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg |
| Full Discovery Agents and Partial Rediscovery Agents | The discovery agents to be used to investigate device connectivity. Default agents are provided for the type of discovery you want to perform, for example a layer 2 or layer 3 discovery. You can select different set of agents for full discoveries and for partial discoveries. The agents vary because connectivity information varies with the technology of the hardware in the network. | DiscoAgents.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg |
| Device Access | SNMP community strings and Telnet parameters that Network Manager uses to interrogate devices that use SNMP and Telnet. | SNMP community strings: SnmpStackSecurityInfo.cfg Telnet access: TelnetStackPasswords.cfg |
| Filters | Use filters to filter out devices either before discovery or after discovery. You can filter out devices based on a variety of criteria, including location, technology, and manufacturer. Prediscovery filters prevent discovered devices from being polled for connectivity information. Post-discovery filters prevent discovered devices from being passed to MODEL. | DiscoSchema.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg |
| DNS | Access to DNS services that are used to perform domain name lookups. | DiscoDNSHelperSchema.cfg |
| NAT | The data that provides the discovery mappings between address space data and real device IP addresses to facilitate further discovery. | DiscoSchema.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg |
| Multicast | Multicast groups and sources used by the Discovery engine to configure multicast scopes. | DiscoScope.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg |
| Advanced | Advanced settings control features of the discovery such as concurrent processes and time-outs. Use these parameters to increase the speed of the discovery, but balance the speed with the load on the server. Generally, a faster discovery results in more memory usage on the server. | DiscoSchema.DOMAIN_NAME.cfg |
