Artica use 3 methods to discovery computers :
- NMAP scanner the parse sub networks and fill LDAP database according computers scanner results.
- Parse periodically the DHCP lease file usually in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases
- New DHCP IP send by the DHCPD server are catched by artica for filling the LDAP database.
When artica add a computer it checks if the MAC address exists in LDAP database. If not, the computer is automatically added in the LDAP Database.
These auto-discovery methods can be disabled in this way
- On the left menu, choose File Sharing/Computers
- Click on Edit Networks icon
Uncheck the Allow NMAP scanner and Allow parse DHCP leases options to disable all the auto-discovery feature.
