Discovery

During the initial full discovery, the
populates its repository with the devices and network connections that it discovers in the managed IP network domain. During any subsequent full discovery, the
rediscovers the devices and network connections in the managed IP network domain.
The discovery flow up to postprocessing is essentially the same as for any
IP Manager
except that the discovery is more streamlined. During the postprocessing phase of discovery, and only if the NumberOfDomains configuration parameter is set, the
starts a topology-split driver that invokes topology split.
Chapter 2, Configuring the Topology Split Manager, identifies the discovery configuration tasks in a
deployment and provides the procedures for completing those tasks. Chapter 3, Initiating Discovery and Topology Split, presents procedures for initiating discovery in a
deployment.
