Client Discovery; Hp Management Agent Broadcast; Discover Agent - HP T5135 - Compaq Thin Client User Manual

Client Discovery

Clients which have the HP Management Agent installed must be 'discovered' by HP Device Manager
before they can be used. There are four approaches to client discovery:
●
Through an HP Management Agent Broadcast (automatic)
●
Server-side discovery using IP walking
●
Discover Agent using DHCP Tag
●
Agent Configuration

HP Management Agent Broadcast

The HP Management Gateway will normally be able to detect most HP Management Agents. The
gateway functions by listening for a network broadcast message sent when each agent starts up.
However, to ensure that the gateway is able to detect all agents, it must be running before each agent
is started up.
If the gateway is unable to detect an agent, Discover Agent, IP walking, DHCP Tag or Agent
Configuration can be used instead.

Discover Agent

HP Device Manager can search a range of IP addresses for agents and gateways. There are two
methods: Walking With IP Range and Walking With IP List.
