The Network Inventory view tells Vivinet Assessor how to discover switches, router, and links on your network. Vivinet Assessor enters discovered devices and links into the Vivinet Assessor SQL database, along with their names, locations, and IP addresses.
To see how the Sample Network Inventory was set up, expand the Inventory Network view tab and click the Set Up view tab. For more information, see Section 3.1, Setting Up a Network Inventory.
The Sample Network Inventory was scheduled to start immediately after activation using a default gateway of 10.0.60.165. Click Edit SNMP Configuration to see that the Network Inventory used the “public” community string. For more information, see Section 3.1.1, Editing SNMP Configuration Information.
Click the Discover view tab to see which devices the Network Inventory found. For more information, see Section 3.2, Discovering Network Devices and Links.
The Discovered Devices and Links table shows all switches, routers, and links that Vivinet Assessor discovered in the subnet you specified in the Set Up view. Each tab in the table indicates how many of each item were discovered.
Vivinet Assessor reports provide more information about discovered devices. For more information, see Section 8.0, Generating Reports.
