discovery add
discovery add - Create a new remote devices discovery instance through the Sensor Control
Description:
Remote devices may be discovered through various mechanisms. Such remote devices discovery are tied to an instance that provides all information to manage network connections and local Sensor Control interface settings to allow such discovery.
Syntax:
discovery <add | edit> name <instance-name> method <acp-l2 | ipad> {
{state {enable|disable}} |
{type {unicast-directed|unicast|subnet} |
{rate {one-shot|3sec|60sec|5min|10min|60min}} |
{timeout <seconds>} |
{hop-limit <hops>} |
{serialno <serial-nbr>} |
{destination <ip-addr>} |
{netmask <ip-addr>} |
{interface <if-name>} }+
<instance-name> = <string>
<seconds> = <decimal>
<hops> = <decimal>
<serial-nbr> = <string>
<if-name> = <string>
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Name of the discovery instance. |
| method | Discovery method to be either ACP L2 or IP agnostic discovery (IPAD) mode. |
| state | Enable or disable the discovery instance. |
| type | IPAD network discovery mode, either through unicast, unicast-directed or subnet. Unicast-directed mode helps discover a specific device identified by its serial number. Unicast mode helps discover remote devices that are in between endpoints. Subnet mode helps discover remote devices that are within a defined IP subnet (limited to 24 subnet masks). Note: Subnet mode type imposes a minimum rate of five minutes for the discovery packets. |
| rate | Rate at which discovery frames or packets will be sent, if not sent once upon request. Default value is to send discovery frames every minute. |
| timeout | Timeout period (in seconds) allowed for the discovery frames or packets to be replied. Default value is 60 seconds. |
| hop-limit | Maximum number of hops to reach for discovering remote devices. |
| serialno | Serial Number of a remote device to discover using unicast discovery. |
| destination | The destination IPv4/IPv6 address to discover remote devices using IPAD method. |
| netmask | Network subnet mask to discover remote devices using IPAD method. Subnet netmask must be larger than /23 (255.255.254.0) - (255.255.255.255). |
| interface | Name of the interface through which ACP L2 discovery frames and packets are being sent and received. |
discovery delete
discovery delete - Delete a discovered remote device instance through the Sensor Control.
Description:
discovery delete allows you to delete all remote devices discovery instances or one specific instance previously set.
Syntax:
discovery delete {name <instance-name>}
<instance-name> = <string>
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Name of the discovery instance to delete. |
discovery edit
discovery edit - Edit parameters tied to remote devices discovery instance through the Sensor Control.
Description:
Remote devices may be discovered through various mechanisms. Such remote devices discovery are tied to an instance that provides all information to manage network connections and local Sensor Control interface settings to allow such discovery.
Syntax:
discovery edit <instance-name> {
{name <new-instance-name> } |
{state {enable|disable}} |
{type {unicast|unicast-directed|subnet} |
{rate {one-shot|3sec|60sec|5min|10min|60min}} |
{timeout <seconds>} |
{hop-limit <hops>} |
{serialno <serial-nbr>} |
{destination <ip-addr>} |
{netmask <ip-addr>} |
{interface <if-name>} }+
<instance-name> = <string>
<new-instance-name> = <string>
<seconds> = <decimal>
<hops> = <decimal>
<serial-nbr> = <string>
<if-name> = <string>
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | The new name of the discovery instance. |
| state | Enable or disable the discovery instance. |
| type | IPAD network discovery mode, either through unicast, unicast-directed, or subnet. Unicast-directed mode helps discover a specific device identified by its serial number. Unicast mode helps discover remote devices that are in between endpoints. Subnet mode helps discover remote devices that are within a defined IP subnet (limited to 24 subnet masks). Note: Subnet mode type imposes a minimum rate of five minutes for the discovery packets. |
| rate | Rate at which discovery frames or packets will be sent, if not sent once upon request. Default value is to send discovery frames every minute. |
| timeout | Timeout period (in seconds) allowed for the discovery frames or packets to be replied. Default value is 60 seconds. |
| hop-limit | Maximum number of hops to reach for discovering remote devices. |
| serialno | Serial Number of a remote device to discover using unicast discovery. |
| destination | The destination IPv4/IPv6 address to discover remote devices using IPAD method. |
| netmask | Network subnet mask to discover remote devices using IPAD method. Subnet netmask must be larger than /23 (255.255.254.0) - (255.255.255.255). |
| interface | Name of the interface through which ACP L2 discovery frames and packets are being sent and received. |

discovery show - Show all or one specific remote devices discovery instance through the Sensor Control.
Description:
discovery show allows you to display the information tied to all remote devices discovery instances configured, or the detailed information of one specific instance.
Syntax:
discovery show {name <instance-name>}
<instance-name> = <string>
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Name of the discovery instance to show in details. |
