- For an OC deployment managing a single large network, you will see multiple entries in the pages under the Settings icon –> icon > Setup –> > Discovery Settings for selectable network views. The entire network is assigned to a single network view. However, each network view entry is identified through the association of each Collector. This allows you to edit discovery settings for each Collector in the same network view.
- Multi-Network Operations Center deployments automatically assign each managed network to a new Network View. Each network view is named based upon the original network name.
- Multi-Network Operations Center deployments automatically define a new set of device groups for each managed network, along with the standard set of device groups. These network-specific device groups are named using the original network name as a prefix.
- During the upgrade, a Multi-Network OC deployment creates a series of new network views, each of which corresponds to the networks managed under the prior software release. Each device listed in Network Explorer tables provides a link under a new Network View column, which opens the Network Viewer window. This window lists all devices that are members of the network view.
- In Multi-Network Operations Center deployments, discovery settings for each network, such as CIDR discovery ranges and seed routers, are automatically associated to with the network views for each managed network, that use each of the respective discovery settings.

Viewing Device Discovery Status and Re-Discovering a DeviceTo view discovery status for any device, open the Device Viewer by navigating to Network Explorer -> Discovery and clicking a device link, or Device Viewer -> Settings & Status –> Management Status. You will see the Management Status for the device. This is an important block of information that immediately describes the effectiveness of communications to the device by NetMRI.
