Note For more information about the topics that are described in this chapter see the NMS300 Network Management System Application User Manual 21 NMS300 Network Management System Application Discovery Concepts You can discover devices on your network by using the following methods Quick discovery Discovers devices without using a discovery profile This method is a quick and easy discovery method but gives you limited control over the discovery process Regular discovery Filters the devices on your network through a discovery profile that you must configure first This method gives you more control than the quick discovery method but is a bit more complicated With both methods the application can discover wired devices wireless devices NETGEAR devices and third party devices that support standard SNMP MIBs The application can discover and monitor NETGEAR firewalls over the WAN Firewalls can have either a static WAN IP address dynamic WAN IP address or WAN host name If a firewall uses a WAN host name the firewall must have DNS enabled Note By default the application lets you discover up to 200 devices For information about discovering more than 200 devices contact your NETGEAR sales contact For wireless access points APs the nature of the AP determines whether the application can discover the AP Standalone AP An AP that is not controlled by another device and that operates in standalone mode This typ
