Discovering Devices By Using IP
2
Addresses
You can perform an IP-based discovery of your network to add devices to your ZENworks
database. With an IP discovery, the ZENworks Server uses a set of technologies (WMI, WinAPI,
MAC Address, NMAP, ZENworks, SNMP, SSH) to discover as much information about the target
devices as possible. The target devices are determined by the IP address range you specify.
