Use this method to discover the topology of your network and to discover devices on your network that have an IP address. Network Discovery searches your network for IP-enabled resources by querying the following entities :
* Servers that run a Microsoft implementation of DHCP
* Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) caches in network routers
* SNMP-enabled devices
* Active Directory domains
Network Discovery can return several attributes as part of the discovery record that it creates. These attributes include :
* NetBIOS name
* IP addresses
* Resource domain
* System roles
* SNMP community name
* MAC addresses
Network Discovery activity is recorded in the Netdisc.log file in <InstallationPath>\Logs on the site server that runs discovery.
