Adding Networks for SNMP/HTTP Scanning

The first step when enabling SNMP/HTTP scanning for devices is to define the network segments to be scanned.
Perform these steps.
1. Go to the Device Setup > Discover page, and locate the Networks section.
2. In the Networks section, select Add New Scan Network. The Scan Network page appears, as shown in
65. Alternatively, you can edit an existing scan network by selecting the corresponding pencil icon. The New/
Edit Networks page also appears in this instance.

3. In the Name field, provide a name for the network to be scanned (for example, Accounting Network).
4. In the Network field, define the IP network range, or the first IP address on the network, to be scanned. One
example would be 10.52.0.0.
5. Enter the Subnet Mask for the network to be scanned (for example, 255.255.252.0). The largest subnet
AWMS supports is 255.255.0.0.
6. Select Add.
7. Repeat these steps to add as many networks for which to enable device scanning. All network segments
configured in this way appear in the Network section of the Device Setup > Discover page.
8. Complete the configuration of scan credentials, then combine scan networks and scan credentials to create
scan sets. The next two procedures in this section describe these tasks.

Adding Credentials for SNMP/HTTP Scanning

The next step in SNMP/HTTP device discovery is to define the scan credentials that govern scanning of a given
network. New APs inherit scan credentials from the System Credentials that you configure on the Device Setup
> Communications page.
Perform these steps to define scan credentials for SNMP/HTTP scanning:
1. Locate the Credentials section on the Device Setup > Discover page. This page displays scan sets, networks,
and credentials that have been configured so far, and allows you to define new elements for device scanning.
2. To create a new scan credential, select Add New Scan Credential.
