5-50   WS5100 Series Switch System Reference Guide

 

Switch discovery enables the SNMP discovery (location) of Motorola devices (running switch software 
version 3.0 or later). To discover devices in the specified range of IP addresses, the switch Web UI sends 
SNMP GET requests (using the user specified SNMP v2 or v 3 version) to all IP addresses of the specified 
network. If the value of the requested object identifier (OID) starts with Motorola enterprise OID the device 
is considered a Motorola device. The results of the discovery process are helpful for isolating devices 
compatible for operation within the locating switch, thus extending the potential coverage area and MU 
support base within the switch managed network.

Use the 

 tab to view existing SNMP search profiles using a user defined range of IP 

addresses. Existing profiles can be modified or deleted and new profiles can be added as needed. Refer to 
the 

tab to view a table of devices discovered by the current discovery process. Each 

discovered device compatible with the locating switch is displayed in a shaded color to distinguish it from 
non-compatible devices.

To configure switch discovery:

1. Select

CAUTION: Switch discovery can be a time consuming operation. However, the switch 
discovery operation is a standalone process. This allows users to perform other 
configuration operations when discovery is running in the background.
