Discovery

Seed Address(es)
|
The IP address(es) of one or more devices that Optivity Switch Manager queries using SNMP to start the discovery process. For a list of supported devices, Installing Optivity Switch Manager Release 2.0.0.0.
Note: If the devices you want to monitor and configure are not connected to the same network, you can specify multiple seed addresses, separated by commas. The separate networks do not appear to be connected in the network topology map.
|
Max Hops
|
The number of hops, between 1 and 20, that a data packet travels from one router or intermediate point to another in the network. (Default is 5 hops.)
|
Restrict Discovery
|
Opens the Restrict Discovery dialog box to restrict device discovery to only the devices in the subnets entered. Refer to Restricting discovery for more information.
|
Map

Drag the slider to the right (better) or to the left (faster) to indicate how you want Optivity Switch Manager to lay out devices in the network topology map. Refer to Layout slider for more information.

- IP Address (Default)
|
Trim HostName Domains

|
Retry Count
|
The number of times, between 0 and 5, Optivity Switch Manager tries to connect to a device using SNMP. (The default is 1.)
|
