Device discovery rules
A device discovery rule enables you to add devices in secure connect gateway based on IP address ranges or comma-separated hostname expressions or IP addresses.
The Device discovery rule page enables you to create, manage, and run single or multiple discovery rules. It also displays the name of the rule, date, and time when the rule was last run, and its status.
NOTE:If devices discovered by the discovery rule become unreachable later, they are moved to the
Inactive state. If a device is in
Inactive state even after the discovery rule is run for three consecutive times, the device is automatically deleted.
When you click a discovery rule in the Name column, the Discovery rule details window is displayed with the following details:
- IP range or hostname of the devices
- Discovery frequency that is assigned to the rule
- Status of the rule
NOTE:During discovery, all the devices in the IP range are pinged. A device is discovered and inventoried in secure connect gateway as and when the device replies to the ping.
- Date when the rule was last run
- Number of devices that were successfully added during the current and previous run cycle, and number of devices in Staging, Inactive, and Failed states.
