Abstract
A discovery agent is running on a node within the network group. The network group is shielded from an administrative system by a communication limiting device. The communication limiting device prevents the administrative system from detecting nodes within the network group. The communication limiting device, however, does not prevent the node running the discovery agent from identifying other nodes within the network group. The discovery agent detects one or more nodes within the network group and transmits data identifying these nodes to the administrative system. Accordingly, the administrative system may identify and manage the newly detected nodes using a management agent installed on the nodes.
