Defining A Scan Set; Running A Scan Set - Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.6 User Manual

Defining a Scan Set

Once you have defined at least one network and one scan credential, you can create a scan set that combines the
two for device discovery. Perform these steps to create a scan set.
1. Locate the Scan Set area at the top of the Device Setup > Discover page.
2. Select Add New Scan Set to see all scan components configured so far. If you wish to create a new network, or
new scanning credentials, you can select Add in either of these fields to create new components prior to creating
a scan set.
3. Select the network(s) to be scanned and the Credential(s) to be used. AirWave defines a unique scan for each
Network-Credential combination.
4. In the Automatic Authorization section, select whether to override the global setting in AMP Setup > General
and have New Devices be automatically authorized into the New Device List, the same Group/Folder as the
discovering devices, the same Group/Folder as the closest IP neighbor, and/or a specified auto-authorization
group and folder.
5. Select Add to create the selected scans, which then appear in a list at the top of the Device Setup > Discover
page.
6. To edit an existing scan, select the pencil icon next to the scan on the Device Setup > Discover page.
7. When ready, proceed to the next task,
NOTE: Scheduling an HTTP scan to run daily on your network can help you to discover rogues. Some consumer APs, like most D-Link,
Linksys, and NetGear models, do not support SNMP and are found only on the wired side with an HTTP scan. These devices are
discovered only if they have a valid IP address. Proper credentials are not required to discover these APs. Wireless scans and the
AMC discover these rogues without any special changes.

Running a Scan Set

Once a scan has been defined on the Device Setup > Discover page, AirWave can now scan for devices. Perform
these steps.
1. Browse to the Device Setup > Discover page and locate the list of all scan sets that have been defined so far.

2. Check the box next to the scan(s) that you would like to execute.
3. Select Scan to execute the selected scans, and the scan immediately begins. The Stop column indicates the scan
is In Progress. Clicking this column heading will stop the scan(s).
