Re: Network discovery and HP9315M Switch


Do the network printers have snmp installed?
Since DHCP is not an option, snmp is your best bet.
The router arp cache although available usually times out fairly
quickly, I don't know when you have network discovery scheduled to run,
but chances are you have it running at a time where people aren't doing
much printing, hence the arp cache probably has the entries for the
printer aged out.
