The Devices page lists the devices that Network Discovery connects to when probing for network resources. When adding or updating a device, you can configure the following attributes:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Configuration | The Configuration that contains the device, as specified in Address Manager. |
Device name |
The current name of the device. |
Probe label |
The docker container that runs the discovery probe for the Network Discovery app to which the policy applies. |
IP addresses | The IPv4 or IPv6 address of the device. |
SNMP port |
The SNMP port number. |
SNMP version | The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) version used by the device. This can be v1, v2c, or v3. |
SNMP VRF context list |
The list of SNMP VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) contexts to use
during discovery network operations. Separate multiple contexts with
commas ( If left blank, discovery operations will use all VRF contexts in the network. Note: Unless specified by BlueCat support, leave this field empty. The
Network Discovery app will automatically discover all available VRF
contexts in the network.
|
Skip neighbor discovery |
If selected, neighbor discovery operations are skipped. Neighbor discovery protocols let nodes on the same link more easily find neighbors (other nodes and routers on the same network). |
SNMP MGMT context list |
A list of SNMP Management VRF contexts to use during neighbor
discovery operations. Separate multiple contexts with commas
( If left blank, discovery operations will discover all neighbor VRFs in the network. Note: Unless specified by BlueCat support, leave this field empty. The
Network Discovery app will automatically discover all available
neighbor VRF contexts in the network.

SNMP community list |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v1 or v2c as the
SNMP version.
The SNMP community string. Separate items in this list with commas ( |
SNMP User List |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v3 as the SNMP
version.
The SNMP user string. Separate items in this list with commas
( |
SNMP context |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v3 as the SNMP
version.
The SNMP context string. |
SNMP security level |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select v3 as the SNMP
version.
SNMP security level for the device. This can be NOAUTHNOPRIV, AUTHNOPRIV, or AUTHPRIV. |
SNMP authentication type |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHNOPRIV or
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP authentication type for the device. This can be MD5 or SHA. |
SNMP authentication passphrase |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHNOPRIV or
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP authentication password for the device. |
SNMP privacy type |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP privacy type for the device. This can be DES or AES128. |
SNMP privacy passphrase |
Note: This field is displayed only if you select
AUTHPRIV as the security
level.
The SNMP privacy password for the device. |
