Hi, Victor & Alex:

    i think parameter - TopologyDiscoveryRadius means the levels or depth the server will search for network objects, and it is only set for Passive topology searching mode. Based on the theory, i set the parameter to 1, but after 900 seconds, i find at least 2 routers in my company were listed in the java console, According to my understanding, if i set the parameter - TopologyDiscoveryRadius to 1, only my gateway will be searched by the server and listed in the java console.
    Would you give me some advice?

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

No, this parameter is only controls dynamic topology maps (show when you select "Layer 2 Topology" from object's context menu). It determines how many hops should be drawn on those maps. This parameter does not affect network discovery. I agree that name is misleading, it is for historical reasons.

Best regards,
Victor
