Finally, you must select the scope of the search. Choose from the following options:
This option uses the subnet mask of the TCP/IP configuration of the computer that performs the search to limit its scope.
Subnet-based searches show all the devices found on the network, not only Windows computers.
If ranges are entered that have IP addresses in common, the relevant computers will be found only once.
Range-based searches show all the devices found on the network, not only Windows computers
Enumeration of the computers that belong to an Adaptive Defense 360 domain requires that the Windows Computer Browser service be running on the computer that performs the search. On each network segment, a Master Browser is elected from the group of computers located on the segment that are running the browser service.
There are two possible scenarios depending on whether the network is a workgroup or a domain:
Network with Primary Domain Controller (PDC / BDC) or Active Directory (AD) installed
The PDC or AD server takes on the Domain Master Browser role and obtains from each Master Browser a full list of the computers found on each network segment. The administrator will see a single list in the Adaptive Defense 360 console with all the computers on the network.
Network without Primary Domain Controller (PDC / BDC) or Active Directory (AD) installed
As there is no computer that acts as the Domain Master Browser, the Master Browser in each network segment will only contain the list of computers that belong to that segment. The Adaptive Defense 360 computer performing the search will only obtain the list of computers in its segment.
To obtain a complete result, it will be necessary to configure individual searches from the Adaptive Defense 360 console for each network segment.
