About Network Discovery
Network Discovery uses a configured seed network device (typically a switch, router, or controller) to discover
endpoints and network devices.
The following information is read from the seed device:

An SNMP description is necessary for discovering and profiling the network devices. For more information,
see SNMP Credentials Configuration on page 141.
l SSH credentials
For Linux server or network device discovery, specify SSH configuration credentials. For more information,
see SSH Credentials Configuration on page 142.
l WMI credentials
For Windows device discovery, specify WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) credentials. For more
information, see WMI Credentials Configuration on page 144.
