Import and Discovery

Import and Discovery is used to import or discover devices from one of the following sources:

• Local file
• Remote file
• SNMP discovery using a list of networks to scan
• Wireless Manager/Switch.

All imported devices will be configured and classified according to the Device Import Rules. You may also use Auto-Placement Rules to place the device in your network, or you may place the device yourself.

You can also import Connectivity profiles for AP Test and Vulnerability Assessment using Import and Discovery. The import file is used to populate the fields in the three tabs in the AP Test and Vulnerability Assessment profiles.

Importing profile settings requires a separate import file. You should not combine importing profiles with importing devices.

Once a profile has been created (by importing or through the GUI), you can schedule an AP Test or a Vulnerability Assessment to run using Import and Discovery.
