    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    The IPAM to Discovery integration monitors your IPv6 network structure by tracking changes in managed networks, subnets, and IP addresses. Automatic schedule creation uses your network topology to generate Discovery schedules and organizes them by location when location data is available. Auto-created schedules are inactive by default and must be manually activated before they can run.

    Procédure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Discovery Admin Workspace > Schedules > IP-based discovery.
    2. Select View and activate schedules from the Needs attention section.
    3. Select the check box next to the name of the auto-created schedule that you want to activate.
      Alternatively, you can activate all the schedules by selecting the check box next to the Name column.
    4. Select Activate.
      An Activate schedule? dialog displays.
    5. Select the MID Server drop-down list and choose a MID Server selection method.

      Specific MID Server Select this option to search for an existing MID Server. Only MID Servers that are validated and up display in the search results.
      Specific MID Cluster Select this option to search for an existing MID Server cluster. Clusters provide failover protection and load balancing between MID Servers. See Configure a MID Server cluster for more information.
    6. Select the Run settings drop-down list and configure when the schedule will run.
      Important :
      Until an auto-created schedule is activated, only the On Demand option is supported.
