The Auto manage newly discovered nodes checkbox causes all newly discovered nodes, up to
the license limit, to be managed by ZoneRanger. Unchecking this box causes all newly
discovered nodes to initially be designated as unmanaged. To manage them, use the
Configuration > Node Management page.
The Ignored IP Addresses section lists the set of IP address to ignore while performing
network discovery. When a node is scanned, if any listed address is found, it is not stored in the
database. This can be useful for administrative IP addresses that are duplicated in the network.
Configuring Seed Nodes
The Configuration > Discovery page Seed Nodes tab lists the nodes to explicitly add to the
ZoneRanger databases. If Search for additional nodes is enabled on the Options tab, the list of
seed nodes will also be used as a starting point for additional discovery.
Figure 34-27. Configuration > Discovery page Seed Nodes tab
You can add seed nodes using the table view or the quick entry view of the seed nodes list. The
quick entry view can be used to paste from a file. For a small network that changes
infrequently, a seed node list and manual discovery may be all that is necessary to populate the
ZoneRanger database.
Configuring Networks
The Configuration > Discovery page Networks tab, is used to limit additional nodes that
ZoneRanger can potentially discover. This helps control the number and address ranges of
devices that will be added to the ZoneRanger managed node list, and helps limit the time spent
in discovery.
