| + | ====== Scan a Local Network ====== | ||
| + | This [[Action|action]] will facilitate network device discovery and device information retrieval. | ||
| + | ===== Discover Devices ===== | ||
| + | === Network to Scan for device discovery === | ||
| + | Describe the IP range of the network that you wish to be scanned for device discovery using *'s as wildcards. The examples 192.168.1.* and 10.1.*.* would be valid. | ||
| + | === When devices are discovered, add a record in this table === | ||
| + | Choose the table that will have a record added to it for each discovered device. | ||
| + | === Skip the Device Table's Actions === | ||
| + | Check this box if you wish the device table's permanently associated actions to be skipped when each device record is created. This can help prevent infinite loops. | ||
| + | |||
