Setting a single IP address scope zone

Set a single IP address scope zone when one of your managed regions is made up of a single IP address only; for example, 10.30.1.20/32.

1. Click the Discovery icon and select Network Discovery Configuration.
2. From the Domain list, select the required domain.
   Network Manager also offers advanced users the option of configuring discovery using text files. The Discovery Configuration GUI provides users less familiar with the discovery process with an easier way of configuring the discovery. When you save your settings in the Discovery Configuration GUI, the discovery configuration settings are written to the discovery text files.
3. Click Scope.
4. To add a new scope zone, click New .
   The Scope Properties page is displayed.
5. Ensure that the Protocol setting is IPv4.
   Our single IP address scope zone, 10.30.1.20/32, is an IPv4 address, so this setting can stay as it is.
6. Ensure that Scope By *Subnet is selected, and type the IP address 10.30.1.20 in the Subnet field. In the adjacent field following the slash sign, /, type the subnet mask 32.
7. Ensure that the Action setting is set to Include.
   This defines the single IP address scope zone, 10.30.1.20/32 as an inclusion zone, an area of the network to be included in the discovery process.
8. Ensure that Add to Ping Seed List is checked.
   Clicking this option automatically adds the device in the scope zone to the ping seed list. This is a list of discovery seed devices, the locations from which to begin discovering devices. Discovery seeds can be IP addresses, as in this case, or subnet addresses. Clicking this option saves you having to separately enter the same entry in the Seeds tab.
9. Click OK to add this scope zone.
10. Click Save to save your discovery configuration settings.
