Abstract

See full text

The embodiments improve the results of an auto-detection of network devices responsive to the causes of detection failures in preceding runs of the auto-detection process. The network may comprise various devices that are believed to be in the network. If a device that is believed to be in the network, but is undiscovered, the embodiments identify the device and information regarding the cause or causes of non-discovery. In response, the discovery parameters are modified, based on the causes associated with the undiscovered devices. The extent to which the discovery parameters are modified is based various criteria, such as the characterization of the network, or upon the detection of changes to the network.
