Local administrator credentials are needed to perform this discovery.
Details About Running a Discovery Using Domains
Start here if one of the discovery methods you choose is Domain (while creating templates (Create Discovery
Templates on page 166), editing templates (Edit Discovery Templates on page 168), or scheduling (Schedule
Discoveries on page 163)), then the Select domains page is displayed. On this page, you can select the domains
to include in the discoveries:
1. Type the domain in Domain or browse for the domain. Then click Add. The domain is displayed in the
Domain box below.
To remove any domains from the Domain box, highlight the domain and click Remove.
2. Click Next.
WS-Discovery
A discovery that uses the Web Services protocol requires minimal settings to launch. HP Web Jetadmin uses the
Web Services protocol to query the network to nd network-connected and PC-connected devices. After an initial
device response, HP Web Jetadmin performs additional SNMP queries to learn more about the devices and add
them to the All Devices list. This discovery mechanism nds devices on both local and remote subnets.
Characteristics of a Web Services discovery for network devices include the following:
●
Packets contain a router hop-counter (IP time to live attribute) that can be set from within
HP Web Jetadmin. The default is 4 hops.
●
Packets expire when the router hop-counter reaches zero.
●
The discovery mechanism is fast.
●
The discovery presents low network trac.
The reach of a Web Services discovery depends on the following:
●
The setting for the Routers to cross (hops) conguration option for the discovery (see Congure the
General Settings for Device Discoveries on page 64).
●
The conguration of the network routers. If the router is congured to pass Web Services requests on to
other sections of the network, then a discovery might discover devices on the entire network.
You can also control the reach of discoveries by conguring the Web Services request to span a certain number
of routers (see Congure the General Settings for Device Discoveries on page 64). The routers must be
congured to allow the Web Services request to be forwarded.
The discovery can also be aected by the conguration of the local rewall (see Discovering Devices with
HP Web Jetadmin through Firewalls on page 136).
If the router is congured to pass Web Services requests on to other sections of the network and the discovery is
congured to cross multiple routers, then the discovery might discover devices across multiple subnets and
perhaps the entire network.
