Discover Nodes from Traps

Describes how the NerveCenter server is set up to handle traps from nodes that are not in its database. The possible values are All, None, and Filter.

• All -- If the server receives a trap from any node that is not in its database, it adds that node to its database.
• None -- If the server receives a trap from a node that is not in its database, it does not add that node to its database.
• Filter -- If the server receives a trap from a node that is not in its database, it adds that node to its database if the node is allowed by the server's IP address filter. (This filter is shown on the Node Source page.)

Enable Discovery at Startup

True or False. If this attribute is set to True, the NerveCenter server turns the IPSweep alarm on each time you start the server. (The poll TruePoll must be enabled before an instance of the IPSweep alarm can be instantiated.)

Process Traps from Unknown Nodes

True or False. If this attribute is set to True, when the server receives a trap from a node that is not in its database, the server processes that trap -- by seeing if it meets the criteria defined in a trap mask -- just as it would process a trap from a node in its database.
