Adding a Network
The Add Network button on the Discovery page enables you to add assets to your environment when you do not know the exact connection information for the desired assets on your network. You can locate and add Integration Server and Broker Server assets using a range of IP addresses. Use the following procedure and tables to add assets using the Add Network button.
Note:
Only Integration Server and Broker Server components can be discovered using the Add Network button. For more information about adding other assets, see Adding an Asset.
*To add a discovery using the Add Network button
1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > Analytics > Infrastructure Components > Discovery
The Discovery page is displayed.
2. Click Add Network.
The Add Network Discovery dialog is displayed.
3. Populate the fields (required fields are identified with *).
The fields on the Add Network Discovery dialog change to match those required by the selected discovery type.
4. Complete the fields on the Add Network Discovery dialog.
Refer to the tables that follow this procedure for information about the optional and required fields for each valid discovery type.
5. Click OK to add the specified asset, or click Cancel if you want to cancel the procedure without adding the discovery.
6. Click Refresh to update the information on the Discovery page.
Note:
Network discovery sends UDP echo and NETBIOS Name Server query requests to each address within the specified address range. When a host responds to these requests, it is added to the list of servers. The UDP echo service (port 7) and NETBIOS Name Server (port 137) must be available on the remote hosts for them to be discovered through Network Search.
To discover an Integration Server, enter the information from the table below on the Add Network Discovery dialog (required fields are identified with *) :
