Figure 4-2. Networks Page of Settings for Discovery
To add a new network to be discovered that does not appear in the Known
Networks list, enter the IP or IPX address of the network and its subnet mask
in the Add One New Network area on the left side of the page. The IP subnet
mask should be the same as the mask you specified when you configured your
TCP/IP protocol stack. HP TopTools uses the subnet mask to calculate the
address range for your network. Click on >> to include it in the Networks list.
Click on the Find More Networks button to discover other networks for which
you do not have the address. The Discovery process needs to know the READ
password for the routers connecting your network to other networks. If the
router is not marked with an asterisk indicating that the password is known
to HP TopTools, double-click on the network and enter its password.
When the list of networks is complete, select the Status tab and click on Start
Discovery.
Adding Devices for Discovery
To add a specific device to a network for discovery, click on the Additional
Devices tab in the Settings - Discovery page. Enter the IP or IPX address and
the Community name of the device. The Community name will default to
“public”. Click on Add Device.
