What are the boundary conditions to stop discovery?

0

Every discovery method has to be limited to run on devices in a specified domain on the network. Firewall access lists and incorrect SNMP strings are implicit boundary mechanisms to limit a discovery run. The software contains some explicit mechanisms to limit a discovery run. Input Filter Condition–This is a list of IP address global patterns (for example, 1.*.*.* or 10.12.1.*). First, the discovery engine starts a thread for every path in the network. If the input filter list is then specified for each path, every device on the path should contain an IP address in this input list in order for the discovery engine to go forward on that path. If the engine comes across a device that has none of its IP addresses in the input filter list, then discovery of further devices in that path stops. Exclude Filter Condition–This is the opposite of the input filter condition. In this case, the discovery engine does not move forward in the path if there is a device in the path which has an IP ad
