Detecting Agents Automatically - NEC Express5800 series User Manual

14 Using the NEC ESMPRO Manager

Detecting Agents Automatically

NEC ESMPRO Manager can detect Agents automatically and register an icon on the Map View
when it finds them. If you prefer, you can add Agents manually. (See Adding an Icon Manually,
page 15.)
Initiate automatic Agent detection as follows.
Ensure that the SNMP service is running on the Agents.
1.
Open the map where you want Agents registered automatically.
2.
From the Tools Menu, select Autodiscover/Foreground.
3.
Select TCP/IP Hosts.
4.
Proceed as follows.
5.
Enter the network address and network mask for the network you want to find. Also, enter
the value set for the Agent to be detected in the SNMP Community field. The default is
public.
If you are entering more than one SNMP community name, separate the names with
commas, as in public, xxx.
If Class A (255.0.0.0) or Class B (255.255.0.0) is specified, the number of addresses
becomes enormous and the automatic detection takes a very long time. If the network in
use is Class B, we recommend that you modify the network address and network mask
appropriately and carry out a partial detection.
If you want to access the details of auto discovery, click [Details] and check the following

Click [Start].
6.
When automatic detection is finished, click [Close]. Any Agents detected appear on the
7.
map as icons.
It is also possible to detect Agents periodically in the background by specifying the SNMP
community name and the interval in Autodiscover/Background on the Tools Menu.
