Understanding Network Discovery in NMS
Network discovery involves the journey of identifying and mapping all devices, nodes, and connections within a network. It is critical for creating an accurate and complete inventory of network assets, which acts as a foundation for effective network management. Network discovery uses various protocols, such as SNMP, ICMP, etc., to detect and query devices, gathering information such as IP addresses, device types, and more.
Network discovery enhances visibility and security by identifying unauthorized or rogue devices that could pose potential risks. Maintaining a current inventory allows network administrators to enforce security policies, manage configurations, and ensure compliance with organizational standards.
Infraon’s Network Discovery Solution
Infraon's network discovery solution offers a smart approach for monitoring, mapping, and visualizing how network devices affect the overall infrastructure. You can drive more discovery efficiency by automatically gathering extensive data on network inventory.
Infraon’s network discovery solution makes it extremely easy to monitor multi-vendor devices without requiring in-depth technical prowess. It is accessible through a single, lightweight software (SaaS, on-premises, or hybrid).
