Currently, agentless inventory gathers inventory only on SNMP-enabled devices.
You can determine the type of inventory that is gathered through SNMP data
mapping tables. Agentless inventory collects data from the SNMP-enabled network
devices that are based on SNMP data mapping tables. The tables identify the data
fields you want to collect and then applies the settings to selected device types.
