Changing a scope

You can use the Discovery Management Console to change an existing discovery scope.

Important: Creating very large scopes can lead to performance issues, including a server crash.
To change an existing discovery scope, complete the following steps from the Discovery Management Console:

  1. On the menu bar, click Discovery > Scope.
    The Scope pane is displayed.
  2. From the Scope Sets list, select a scope set.
    The list of scopes for that scope set are listed to the right.
  3. From the list of scopes, select a scope and click Edit.
    The Edit Scope window is displayed.
  4. To change the settings for the scope, complete one of the following steps:
    • To change a subnet, type the IP address of the subnet in the IP Address field. This must be a unique value within the scope set. Continue to Step 5.
    • To change a range of devices, type the start and the end IP addresses in the IP Address field. This must be a unique value within the scope set. Continue to Step 5.
    • To change a specific device, type the IP address or the fully qualified host name in the Hostname field. This must be a unique value within the scope set. Continue to Step 6.
  5. To exclude devices and hosts from the discovery scope, click Add Exclusion and complete one of the following steps:
    • From the IP Type list, select Subnet and type the IP address of the subnet in the IP Address field.
    • From the IP Type list, select Range and type the start and end IP addresses in the IP Address field.
  6. To save the scope, click OK. The new changes are applied to the scope.
