Why can AutoDiscovery find anything on my network?
A7. AutoDiscovery uses the starting IP address you supply in the AutoDiscovery Setup dialog box to find other devices. AutoDiscovery contacts that device, finds what devices it knows of, contacts them, and so on. However, because network devices keep track of the address of other devices for only a short while, a device that isn’t centrally located or doesn’t get much traffic may not be a useful starting address.
