What happens on the network when I run AutoDiscovery?

You can select different options when you run the Discovery Wizard and each option affects the sequence of events that occur within the AutoDiscovery process. For example, if you select only the Routers option on the Discovery Wizard – Discovery Type page, different discovery processes occur than if you also select the Non-router devices option, which displays the Discovery Wizard – Discover Non-Router Devices page. There are two stages to the AutoDiscovery process. Layer 3 (Network Layer) SNMP discovery occurs first with discovery of the devices types (for example, routers, switches, and servers). Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) discovery occurs next, querying the discovered devices to determine how devices are connected to ports on a switch or router.
