Subnet Broadcasts

Use Subnet Broadcasts to discover manageable devices on remote subnets. You can specify an unlimited number of subnet broadcast values to discover devices. Do not specify a subnet broadcast value that corresponds to the subnet of the SmartSystems server.

To configure a subnet broadcast value

  1. Expand the Subnet Broadcasts folder.

  2. Highlight the SubnetBroadcastInstance Template folder and then right-click. A pop-up menu appears.

  3. From the pop-up menu, choose create instance.

  4. Type the subnet broadcast address to name the instance. In this example, we use 192.168.1.255 for the subnet broadcast address.

  5. From the Main Menu, choose File > Save Settings. You will now see a new subnet broadcast instance under Subnet Broadcasts:

Once you have created one or more subnet broadcast instances, you can discover devices on the specified remote subnets by clicking the Discover button on the SmartSystems console.

To create a new instance at anytime

  1. Highlight the SubnetBroadcastInstance Template folder or any existing instance under Subnet Broadcasts.

  2. Right-click and choose create instance from the pop-up menu.

  3. Type the subnet broadcast address and then choose File > Save Settings from the main menu.
