Rescan a M ap
Rescanning performs the same type of search as when the map was originally built.
After the Rescan Map command completes, any map objects that did not respond will
be listed in the session log. (Click the Session Log icon or select Session Log from
the Window menu to view the session log.)
Any new map objects that are discovered are added to the map. If a map object has
moved from one part of the network to another, that map object may appear twice: once
in its old network location and once in its new network location.
Use Rescan Map to discover new map objects and detect map objects that have either
disappeared or moved on the network. The Rescan Map feature allows you to continue
to use a LANsurveyor map over a period of time. It is a good alternative to building a
new map from scratch because any new objects you have defined with the Create
Object menu item are kept in saved map files.
LANsurveyor can optionally rebuild the map layout in order to show any new objects
that have appeared. If you have moved objects to new locations, these node locations
may be modified. To prevent re-layout, uncheck Redraw map option in the application
preferences.
Rescan Map searches only the IP address range(s) already discovered on the map; to
add IP address ranges, use Add To Map from the Tools menu and then use Rescan
Map.
The Continuous Scan feature continuously rescans your map to keep it up-to-date.
