Before you begin:
  • Ensure you meet the following requirements for the type of discovery you want to run:
    Discovery type Requirements
    SNMP UDP ports 161 and 162 must be open to ensure that firewall rules allow SNMP traffic.
    VMware The probe must have HTTP access to the VMware virtualized environments (vCenter Servers or ESXi hosts).
    SSH TCP port 22 must be open to ensure SSH access to devices on the network.

  • When creating a discovery probe, you will be required to select a BlueCat Server on which the probe will be enabled. In addition to the Address Manager Servers, the available list includes only those BlueCat DNS/DHCP Servers that are under Address Manager control (only v26.1 and greater are supported). If the required BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server is not listed, you must first add it under Address Manager control by using the procedure described in Adding DNS/DHCP Servers to Address Manager. Once added, the BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server will appear in the list and can be selected to enable the probe on it.

Use the following procedure to create a discovery probe:

  1. Select the Probes tab.
  2. Select New probe.
  3. In the Create probe window that appears, set the following parameters:
    Note: Parameters marked with an asterisk (*) in the UI are mandatory.
    • Select a BlueCat server—from the drop-down list, select the BlueCat server (Address Manager Server or BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server) on which the probe will be enabled.
      Note: Choose the BlueCat Server that has proximity and access to the network you wish to discover.
    • Description—enter a description for the BlueCat server to provide additional details of the server, if required.
  4. Select Create to create the probe and return to the Probes table, or select Create and add another to create the probe and re-open the Create probe window.
