Link Discovery - Dell OpenManage Network Manager Client Manual

Link Discovery

This is an automated network link discovery feature that you can initiate from individual devices in
the Managed Resources portlet, or with the Link Discovery button on the home screen. See Link
Discovery Prerequisites on page 177 for a list of device features that provide link information. Links
discovered can also appear in the screen described in Links in Visualization on page 220.
When you elect to discover links from a right-click menu, the Network Link Discovery screen
appears. Check the type of links you want to discover or from which you want to refresh collected
data. Other options available on this screen include the following:
Layer 2 / Layer 3 [checkboxes]—Select the layer for which you want to discover links. Depending
on the layer selected, the available types appear as checkboxes below this tab selection.
Click All / None to select all or none of the displayed types for each layer. Remember, selecting more link
types consumes more time and processing power.
