Automatic System
Discovery Mode
Discovery Mode
This feature is enabled by default. It automatically adds systems Cisco TMS discovers to a
folder in System Navigator, and configures their management properties to work with Cisco
TMS. Cisco TMS configures the systems with basic settings from the "Discovered Systems
Template". Modify this template to specify default settings that you wish all new systems to
have.

Active Directory
These settings allow Cisco TMS to use Active Directory for its user and group settings. If the
Cisco TMS server is a member of a domain, it is highly recommended you enable these set
tings by entering a valid Windows Domain account. The account does not need to be an
administrator account, just a normal user account. If Lookup User Information… is enabled,
when a new user profile is created, Cisco TMS will automatically populate as many of the
fields in the user profile as possible from Active Directory. Allow AD Groups simplifies Cisco
TMS Groups by allowing you to use Groups from Active Directory as Cisco TMS User Groups
which automates which Cisco TMS groups a user belongs to.

This is/are the network addresse(s) that were configured in the Cisco TMS Installer. Cisco
TMS will send a SNMP query to these addresses to find new systems. If your network spans
multiple networks, add the broadcast address for each, separated by commas to allow
Cisco TMS to find systems automatically. Do not worry if all networks are not represented
here as systems can also be added manually and through systems contacting Cisco TMS.

To turn this scan off, enter the localhost address 127.0.0.1.
