The discovery process can utilize a variety of different technologies.
When more than one technology is used, the discovery process
initiates a discovery request for each technology, with all technology
requests running simultaneously. This is done for each target IP
address. For example, if you use MAC Address, SNMP, and WMI,
the discovery process creates three requests for each target IP
address. The requests are queued and run according to the
Maximum Concurrent Discoveries setting.
If more than one technology request returns information for a
discovered device, the information is merged together. In the case
of conflicting information, the discovery process chooses the "best"
information.
Using fewer discovery technologies reduces the time required to
complete the discovery task but might also reduce the amount of
information received.
