NAME
Find-NcController

SYNOPSIS
Discover Data ONTAP (Cluster-mode) controllers.

SYNTAX
Find-NcController [-Community <String>] [-Address] <String> [-Timeout <Int32
>] [-NoPing] [-All] [<CommonParameters>]

Find-NcController [-Community <String>] [-Address] <String> [-Mask] <String>
[-Timeout <Int32>] [-NoPing] [-All] [<CommonParameters>]

Find-NcController [-Community <String>] -StartAddress <String> -EndAddress <
String> [-Timeout <Int32>] [-NoPing] [-All] [<CommonParameters>]


DESCRIPTION
Discover Data ONTAP (Cluster-mode) controllers. This cmdlet is used in vari
ous ways to find controllers on the network. It uses SNMP to perform the di
scovery, so SNMP must be enabled on the controllers. It does not rely on an
y SNMP functionality in the Microsoft Windows host operating system. This c
mdlet does not currently support IPv6.

To discover a single controller:

Find-NcController -Address 10.58.94.234

To discover controllers within a range of addresses:

Find-NcController -StartAddress 10.58.94.1 -EndAddress 10.58.94.254

To discover controllers on a subnet:

Find-NcController -Address 10.58.94.1 -Mask 255.255.255.0

or use CIDR notation:

Find-NcController -Address 10.58.94.0/24


PARAMETERS
-Community <String>
If specified, this is the community string to use during SNMP discovery.
The default value is 'public'.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Address <String>
Specify to discover a single address, or to specify any address within a
subnet when using the -Mask parameter, or to specify a subnet in CIDR f
ormat.

Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Timeout <Int32>
Timeout value for discovery, specified in milliseconds. Default is 5000
.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-NoPing
For efficiency, the discovery engine first attempts to ping a controller
before sending any SNMP commands. But if ICMP traffic is blocked withi
n a network, specify this option to forego pinging and proceed to the SN
MP query stage.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-All
Specify to return all SNMP devices, not just Data ONTAP (Cluster-mode) c
ontrollers.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Mask <String>
Specify in dotted quad notation when specifying a subnet to query.

Required? true
Position? 2
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-StartAddress <String>
The starting address within an address range to query.

Required? true
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-EndAddress <String>
The ending address within an address range to query.

Required? true
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type,
