You can create a passive discovery only if your account is subscribed to Universal DDI tokens but not SOC Insights.

  1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal.

  2. Go to Configure > Networking > Discovery > On-Prem.

  3. Click Create > Passive Discovery.

  4. In the Create Passive Discovery dialog, do the following:

  • State: Move the switch to Enable or Disable the discovery.

  • Name: Enter the name of this discovery job.

  • Description: Enter additional information about the discovery job.

You can create only one passive discovery configuration. If a passive discovery configuration already exists, you may edit it, but you cannot create another one.

Under the Type section, do the following:

DHCP: Use the switch to enable or disable the discovery of assets through DHCP logs. When you enable discovery through DHCP logs, you must select at least one of the following:

  • BloxOne: Select this to discover NIOS-X physical or virtual servers (formerly BloxOne appliances). For information on NIOS-X servers, see Deploying NIOS-X Servers.

  • NIOS: Select this to discover on-premises NIOS Grids.

Infoblox Endpoint: Use the switch to enable or disable the discovery of all Infoblox managed endpoints.
