Field Action/Description
Server 1. From the drop-down list, select the W-ClearPass W-Policy Manager server.
If the W-ClearPass server is in a cluster, the list will display the cluster node IPaddresses
that you can choose.
NOTE: Once you select the node, the network discovery scan starts with that node.
Scan Depth 2. Specify the Scan Depth by selecting the desired number from 1 to 5.
The Scan Depth numbers indicate the levels of the network you want to scan. The default is
Scan Depth 3.
The seed devices are, by default, at Scan Depth 1. Starting from the seed device, the next
device level is Scan Depth 2, and so on, until the scan reaches the scan depth specified
here.
Seed Devices 3. Enter the IP addresses of one or more seed devices from which the network scan should
proceed.
Separate multiple device IP addresses with commas.

About Auto-Refresh
When Auto-Refresh is enabled (it is enabled by default), W-ClearPass fetches fresh data every few seconds to
ensure that the network discovery scan status is always current.
When Auto-Refresh is enabled, the button is green. You can disable Auto-Refresh by clicking the button,
which will then turn red to indicate this feature is disabled.
To enable or disable AutoRefresh:
1. Navigate to Monitoring > Profiler and Discovery > Network Discovery.
