Run a Discovery Scan

Discovery scans are configured and run in 'Assets' > 'Network Management' > 'Discoveries'. The page 'Create And Run Network Discovery Tasks' covers this in more detail.

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

Run a scan

Click 'Assets' > '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 - The scan will be aborted if all probe devices are offline.

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 'Assets' > 'Network Management' > 'Devices' > 'Discovered Devices'.

Results include SNMP, managed and unmanaged devices. Managed devices = already enrolled to Xcitium Enterprise. Unmanaged = not enrolled to Xcitium Enterprise.

Manage SNMP Devices

Xcitium Enterprise is capable of detecting SNMP devices in a discovery scan. You should have enabled SNMP detection when setting up the network 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.

See Manage Profiles for Network SNMP Devices for more on this.

Move SNMP devices to management

Click 'Assets' > 'Network Management' > 'Devices'

Click the 'Discovered Devices' tab

Select a group to view the list of devices identified in that group

Or

Select 'Show all' to view every discovered device

Select an SNMP compliant device then click 'Manage Device over SNMP'

You can move one device at a time

Mark Recognized Devices as Known Devices

Unmanaged devices identified for the first time are marked 'New'.

You can enroll discovered devices to Endpoint Manager. See Example Deployment Process in 'Create And Run Network Discovery Tasks' for a quick guide on this.

After enrolling devices you may want to remove the 'New' tag.

If you remove the 'New' tag the device will not be flagged as new in subsequent scans.

Mark new devices as known

Click 'Assets' > 'Network Management' > 'Devices'

Click the 'Discovered Devices' tab

Select a group to view the list of devices identified in that group

Or

Select 'Show all' to view every discovered device

Select the new devices that are to be marked as known devices and click 'Mark as read'.

Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog. The 'New' tag beside the device will disappear

Change Device Type

You can change the device category in case it was detected incorrectly after a scan.

Click 'Assets' > 'Network Management' > 'Devices'

Click the 'Discovered Devices' tab

Select a group to view the list of devices identified in that group

Or

Select 'Show all' to view every discovered device

Select the devices that you want to change the category

Click 'Change'

The category will change with appropriate icon in the device type column.

Remove Selected Devices from the 'Discovered Devices' list

Click 'Assets' > 'Network Management' > 'Devices'

Click the 'Discovered Devices' tab

Select a group to view the list of devices identified in that group

Or

Select 'Show all' to view every discovered device

Select the devices to be removed and click 'Delete Device'.

Click 'Delete' in the confirmation dialog. The device will be removed from the list.

If a deleted device is discovered again in subsequent scans, it will be shown as a new device. If you want the device to be ignored in subsequent scans, add its IP address to exclusions, the discovery scan. See Create a new discovery task to know how to add IP address exclusions.
