Using Discovery and Managing Devices
Step 3 Select Reverse DNS Lookup if DNS is configured on the device.
• If DNS Lookup fails, the device IP address will be used; however, discovery
will take longer.
• If DNS Lookup succeeds, the WLSE displays will show the device’s
hostname instead of the IP address in device name fields.

Variable Description Notes
target A device or range of devices that
use these community strings.
If you do not specify a target, the default
community strings apply to all devices in the
network.
read_community A password allowing read-only
access to the target devices.
You must specify a read community string.
Otherwise, the default value of public is used.
timeout The length of time (seconds) the
server waits for a response from
the device before performing the
first retry.
The default is 10 seconds. If you increase the
timeout period, discovery could take
significantly longer to complete. The
minimum value is one and the maximum
value is 60.
retries The number of times the server
attempts to communicate with
the device before declaring that
the device has timed out.
The default is one retry. If you increase the
number of retries, discovery takes
significantly longer to complete. The default
retry policy doubles the previous timeout
value for retry.
write_community The password that allows write
access to the target devices.
You must specify the write community string.
Otherwise, the default value of public is used.
