Ping Sweep

You can use ping sweep to locate devices within the IP address ranges of the configured auto-discovery rules. For initial discovery, you might want to enable ping sweep for all rules. Doing so provides enough information to NNMi discovery that you do not need to configure discovery seeds.

Note Ping sweep works for subnets of 16 bits or smaller, for example, 10.10.*.*.

Ping sweeps are especially useful for discovering devices across a WAN that you do not control, such as an ISP network.

Note Firewalls often view ping sweeps as attacks on the network, in which case, a firewall might block all traffic from a device that emits ping sweeps.

Tip: Enable ping sweep for small discovery ranges only.
