Does the autoMap discovery process need/use Probes?
No it does not. A single Host PC can be used to interrogate all the Agents on the network. If the Host PC is configured as a trusted user the discovery process will continue beyond firewalls. The Codima Toolbox contains Probes, but they are used specifically to monitor the network traffic and are part of the Remote Management facility. Note: The Probes have no involvement in the autoMap discovery operations, if Codima Probes are installed on a network, the autoMap discovery process will show the Probes when drawing the network infrastructure.
