Preventing Specific Devices from being Discovered

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: 
  1. Open the seed.file [\probe\conf].
  2. 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>


  3. 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

    Example:
    <NOT_TO_DISCOVERIP>
       <ip
           NODE_ID="192.168.1.25"
           NETMASK="255.255.255.0>
       <ip
           NODE_ID="192.168.1.30"
           NETMASK="255.255.255.0>
    </NOT_TO_DISCOVERIP>


  4. Save the file and restart the Probe service.
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.
