Submitted by: Administrator

Now that the discovery has started, can monitor the progress of the discovery on
the Network Discovery Status page. Use the status in the Discovery Phase field to
determine how the discovery is running:
1. Until the first device is discovered, the discovery phase is Idle/Standby (0).
2. After the first device is discovered, the status changes to Discovering Network
(1). As further devices are discovered, the count in the Processed IP Addresses
field increases.
3. The discovery then runs through the following statuses:
a. Downloading ARP (2)
b. Downloading Connections (3)
c. Correlating Connectivity (-1)
4. After the discovery is completed, the status reverts back to Idle/Standby (0).
