Use the following procedure to create an SSH discovery policy:
Note: If the same discovery policy applies to multiple discovery
tasks, you can create the policy once, and reuse it.
- Select the Policies tab.
- Select New Policy > SSH.
-
In the Create SSH discovery policy window that appears,
set the following parameters under General settings:
Note: Parameters marked with an asterisk (*) in the UI are mandatory.
- Name—enter a unique name for the policy. This name is used only for identification within Network Discovery and in discovery tasks.
- Seed devices—enter the IP address of the individual device that Network Discovery must use to collect data, then select the add (+) icon. You can repeat this process to add additional IP addresses. Discovery starts from these IP addresses.
-
Under SSH settings, set the following parameters:
- Select from saved credentials—from the drop-down list, select the SSH credentials (previously created in the Credentials page). Then select the add (+) icon. You can repeat this process to add additional credentials.
- Select Create to create the discovery policy and return to the Policies table, which will now display the policy you created.
