Network Discovery

  1. Use your web browser to connect to http://your_host/ where your_host is the fully qualified name or IP address of the Traverse server (Web application). You can connect to http://127.0.0.1 if you are using the same machine on which you installed Traverse.
  2. Log in to the Web site using end user name traverse and the password traverse.
  3. Run a device discovery by going to Administration > Other > Device Discovery & Import > New Network Discovery Session.
  4. Make sure you have the SNMP passwords ("community strings") for your routers and switches so that you can enter them in the Discovery page fields (you can enter multiple strings one each line if required). Most of the discovery pages have default options already selected. Kaseya recommends accepting the default values and (for the initial discovery) entering a class C subnet (192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 or 10.1.2.0/255.255.255.0, for example).
  5. Go to the Status page and make sure the Severity Filter is Off so that you can see all the monitored devices.
  6. You can click on any device for information on tests being monitored and to see reports and graphs.

Note: Traverse discovers the complete network topology if you provide it with proper SNMP passwords for your switches and routers (it needs to query these devices to discover the topology).
