With MSP Center Plus you have the option to omit certain devices from being discovered while initiating the discovery process. Follow the steps given below to restrict certain devices from being discovered for a Probe:
Open the seed.file [\probe\conf].
At the end of the file before the </seed> tag add the following syntax
<NOT_TO_DISCOVERIP>
<ip
NODE_ID="X.X.X.X"
NETMASK="Y.Y.Y.Y" />
</NOT_TO_DISCOVERIP>
Enter the IP address of the device that you want to ignore during discovery. You can also enter multiple IP address. Go through the following example
After completing the
above steps, if you discover the devices from the Central web client,
the devices that are mentioned in the above steps will not be
discovered for that Probe.
Note:
You can also add the syntax for discovering devices by IP
range after the syntax provided for restricting specific devices from being
discovered.
