Systems and related methods for discovering network nodes and routable addresses include a scan server, local link segment, an agent coupled to the local link segment, and a router coupled to place the scan server in communication with the agent. The scan server commands the agent to discover a network node coupled to the local link segment. The agent is responsive to commands from the scan server to discover a network node coupled to the local link segment. The agent also obtains a link-local address for the network node, and obtains a routable site-local address to which the link-local address maps. The agent provides the routable site-local address to the scan server.

La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés liés pour découvrir des noeuds de réseau et des adresses routables qui comprennent un serveur de balayage, un segment de liaison locale, un agent couplé au segment de liaison locale et un routeur couplé pour faire communiquer le serveur de balayage avec l'agent. Le serveur de balayage commande à l'agent de découvrir un noeud de réseau couplé au segment de liaison locale. L'agent répond aux commandes du serveur de balayage pour découvrir un noeud de réseau couplé au segment de liaison locale. L'agent obtient également une adresse de liaison locale pour le noeud de réseau et une adresse de site local routable à laquelle correspond l'adresse de liaison locale. L'agent fournit l'adresse de site local routable au serveur de balayage.
