Auto Discovery

[Annette Jones_2]

Using HPSIM4.1, is there any reason why auto discovery will not pick up certain devices. SNMP etc., is setup and a manual discovery works ok. I've noticed that two of the devices not discovered are DHCP, 1 is a server (W2K) the other a workstation (NT4).

My worry is that to discover all Workstation it would be very time consuming if I had to complete a manual discovery, these will be setup for DHCP.

HP SIM by default uses a discovery filter to limit the types of devices that are discovered. Go to Options--Discovery--Automatic Discovery and then click on the "discovery filter" link to modify the filter to meet your needs.
