The Edit dialog sets scan options used by Scan Now. These same settings serve as the default settings displayed by the Scan Schedules dialog.
General tab
Network Name - A friendly name used to identify a network with the VSA.
Probe - The agent machine to use for scanning with this network. Windows and Apple agent machines can serve as probe machines.
IP Range - Specifies the range of IP addresses to include in a scan. By default, the entire scan range configured for a network is specified. Example: 192.168.32-35.0-255. Only single IP ranges are supported.
IP Exclusions - Specifies a range of IP addresses to excluded from the scan. Multiple IP ranges separated by commas are supported. Example: 192.168.32-35.0-255, 10.10.14-15.0-255 By default, this field is blank.
Organization - Assign an organization to a network. Once organizations are assigned to all your networks, the network table can be sorted and filtered by organization. This assignment has no effect on the organization assigned discovered devices when they are promoted to an an asset.
Alerts Active - If checked, alerts configured on the Alerting Profiles tab are active. If blank, alerts are not generated for discovered devices on this network.
Monitor Network - If checked, enables integration with Network Monitor for this network.
Store contact information for a selected network using the following fields.
Primary Phone
Primary Fax
Primary Email
Country
Street
City
State
Zip
SNMP tab
After Discovery has performed an SNMP-enabled scan using a valid community name, you can:
Identify, sort and filter SNMP capable devices on the Discovered Devices page using the SNMP Active column.
Begin monitoring SNMP-enabled devices by assigning SNMP sets using Monitor > Assign SNMP.
Options
Enable SNMP - If checked, scan for SNMP devices within the specified Scan IP Range.
Read Community Name / Confirm Community String - A network scan can only identify SNMP devices that share the same SNMP Community Read value as the managed machine performing a network scan. Community names are case sensitive. Typically the default read community name value is public, but may be reset by an administrator to Public, PUBLIC, etc.
vPro tab
After Discovery has performed a vPro-enabled scan using a valid vPro credential on a network, you can:
Identify, sort and filter vPro-enabled devices on the Discovered Devices page using the vPro Machine column.
Display hardware attributes for vPro-enabled machines using the View button on the Discovered Devices page.
Display hardware attributes for vPro-enabled machines classified as assets using the vPro tab on the Assets page.
List vPro machines on the Desktop Management > vPro > vPro Management page if the Show Discovered Assets checkbox is checked. On this same page these agentless vPro machines can be powered on—on demand or by schedule—and powered off on demand.
A machine does not need to be a vPro machine to discover vPro machines using Discovery.
Note: vPro configuration is a prerequisite to using this feature. Refer to the latest Intel documentation for information on how to configure vPro. At the time of this writing, the following link leads to the Intel documentation: http://communities.intel.com/community/openportit/vproexpert.
Options
Enable vPro - Windows only. If checked, vPro scanning is enabled for this network.
Username / Password / Confirm Password - Enter the appropriate vPro credentials to return hardware asset details about vPro machines discovered during the scan. Typically the same credentials are defined for all vPro machines on the same network.
