After an IP discovery and a vDiscovery, you can view discovered data in the Discovered Data section when you drill down to a specific IP address in the Net Map, Net List, IP Map or IP List panel. For information about IP Map and IP List, see IP Map and Viewing and IP Address List.
You can also view discovered data for Cloud specific VMs in the Cloud tab. Note that you must install the Cloud Network Automation license on the Grid Master to view the Cloud tab.

Viewing IPAM Discovered Data

...

To view discovered data in the IPAM tab:

...

  • NetBIOSName: The name returned in the NetBIOS reply or the name you manually register for the discovered host.
  • OS: The operating system of the detected host or virtual entity. The OS can be one of the following:
    • Microsoft for all discovered hosts that have a non-null value in the MAC addresses using the NetBIOS discovery method.
    • A value that a TCP discovery returns.
    • The OS of a virtual entity on a vSphere server.
  • Discovered MAC Address: The discovered MAC address for the host. This is the unique identifier of a network device. The discovery acquires the MAC address for hosts that are located on the same network as the Grid member that is running the discovery. This can also be the MAC address of a virtual entity on a specified vSphere server.
  • AP Name: The name of the access point for the device. This column is displayed only for wireless devices. If discovered by NetMRI, the value will be populated through IPAM Sync as well.
  • AP IP Address: The IP address of the access point for the device. This column is displayed only for wireless devices. If discovered by NetMRI, the value will be populated through IPAM Sync as well.
  • SSID: The unique name of the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). If discovered by NetMRI, the value will be populated through IPAM Sync as well.
  • Discovered DUID: For IPv6 address only. The DHCP unique identifier of the discovered host. This is an optional field, and data might not be included.
  • Last Discovered: The timestamp when the IP address was last discovered.
  • First Discovered: The timestamp when the IP address was first discovered.
  • Task Name: The name of the task that collected the discovered data. It is usually the ID or task name that collected the data. It is defined on the corresponding NetMRI appliance when you import the discovered data to the NIOS appliance. The task name should be defined in thevDiscoverytask managerforvDiscovery.
  • Discovered Name: The name of the network device associated with the discovered IP address.
  • Discoverer: Specifies whether the IP address was discovered by NetMRI or NIOS discovery process.

If you imported data from NetMRI appliances, Grid Manager displays the following information, if available. For information about the data imported from NetMRI appliances, see see Integrating Discovered Data From from NetMRI.

  • Device Port Type: The port type for the end device.
  • Device Port Name: The port name for the end device.
  • Device Type(s): Identifies the device type.
  • Port Duplex: The negotiated or operational duplex setting of the switch port connected to the end device. You can modify this in the IPv6 fixed address and AAAA record editors.
  • Port Link: The link status of the switch port connected to the end device. Indicates whether it is connected.
  • Port Speed: The interface speed, in Mbps, of the switch port. You can modify this in the IPv6 fixed address and AAAA record editors.
  • Port Type: The switch port type.
  • Port Status: The operational status of the switch port. Indicates whether the port is up or down.

Viewing Discovered Data for Cloud VMs

You can view discovered data for cloud specific VMs after performing a vDiscovery job. Note that you must have at least read-only permission to "All Tenants" and "All Network Views" to view the VMs tab.
To view discovered data for cloud VMs, see see Viewing All Cloud VMs.
