What is the difference between Local SNMP/Workgroup Machines and Define IP Range to scan Options?
Local SNMP Machines use network broadcast to find out all SNMP enabled devices in your local network. This option retrieves all devices at once but it only works in local LAN network. The include machines in workgroup option will find out all Windows networking PC that appears in the My Network Places. NOTE: the “include machines in workgroup” option may return Hugh number of PCs in a Microsoft Domain or AD network. Define IP Range to Scan will find out all devices in the selected IP Range by scanning the IP address one by one this is slower than the broadcast method. This options allows scanning devices in both local network and remote office. vMonitor allows scanning multiple Class C (255 IP address) at one time.
