About Router Hops in Network Discovery

In Configuration Manager 2007, the degree to which a large network is mapped at one time by Network Discovery is determined by the number of router hops that a Network Discovery run is set for. Each router hop made during the network discovery can significantly increase the amount discovered if a network is broken into multiple nodes.

To get a better idea of how router hops can affect the amount of network resources discovered, consider the following network:

A Network Discovery, running from Server 1, finds the following routers (and their attached subnets), depending on how many router hops are specified:

• Zero router hops: Router B

• One router hop: Routers A, B, C, and E

• Two router hops: All routers

More detailed examples can be seen for router hops ranging from zero to four hops by clicking the following links:

• Zero router hop: Example of Initial Network Discovery, Hop Count 0

• One router hops: see Example of Initial Network Discovery, Hop Count 1

• Two router hops: Example of Initial Network Discovery, Hop Count 2

• Three router hops: Example of Initial Network Discovery, Hop Count 3

• Four router hops: Example of Initial Network Discovery, Hop Count 4
