hi all,

what does "disable network discovery" does in the node's configuration?

You mean "disable network discovery polling"? If this option is on node will not be polled for network discovery information (information in it's ARP cache and routing table will not be used to find potential new nodes).

Hi Victor,

that's the one. now i understand.
can you tell me what is the difference between this and "disable routing table polling" ?

Discovery polling used to collect IP addresses of potential new nodes, and it is not run if network discovery is disabled. Routing table polls used to read and cache routing tables - they are using in event correlation (to detect that node down is because of intermediate router failure) and for IP route visualization.
