Network device discovery

Network discovery is a process that helps to map and monitor your network infrastructure. All the network devices can connect and communicate with each other.

The virtual and mobile networks are changing dynamically. It is essential to have an automatic discovery for continuous device onboarding. It helps to monitor the network state to identify bottlenecks and failures, and to ensure optimum network efficiency.

The discovery methods that function at layer 3, discover the devices, resources, and their properties in the network. Typically, three methods of discovery are available in Telco Network Cloud Manager - Performance.
