          Run a Discovery Scan

          • You can also run existing scans from the results screen ('Network Management' > 'Devices' > 'Discovered Devices')

          Run a scan

          • Click 'Network Management' > 'Devices'
          • Click the 'Discovered Devices' tab
          • Click the 'Discover Now' button above the table:




          • Discovery - Select the pre-configured discovery task you want to run.
          • Enter the first few letters of the scan name and select from the suggestions
          • Skip if probe device is offline - Will abandon the scan if the probe device(s) are not available.
          • The command is queued if this option is not selected. The scan will start once the probe device comes online.
          • Click 'Discover' to run the scan. The scan will run for ten minutes and report all discovered devices found at the end of this period. If selected, the SNMP scan will run simultaneously.
          • You can see discovered devices in 'Network Management' > 'Devices' > 'Discovered Devices'.
          • Results include SNMP, managed and unmanaged devices. Managed devices = already enrolled to Endpoint Manager. Unmanaged = not enrolled to Endpoint Manager.


          Manage SNMP Devices

          • Endpoint Manager is capable of detecting SNMP devices in a discovery scan. You should have enabled SNMP detection when setting up the scan.
          • The SNMP feature provides simple management of devices which don’t run a supported operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux etc). SNMP devices are usually items like UPS, printers, routers, switches etc.
          • You can apply a simple network profile to these devices which alerts you if the device has been powered on or off for a certain period of time.


          Move SNMP devices for management

          • Click 'Network Management' > 'Devices'
          • Click the 'Discovered Devices' tab
