The LAN Watch by Probe page discovers devices on the same LAN as a selected probe machine. These devices can be workstations and servers without agents, SNMP devices and vPro machines. Discovered devices display on the following pages:
Note: Windows XP machines are not recommended as probe machines. NMAP is more reliable with later Windows operating systems.
Schedule a scan once or on a recurring basis using the Schedule Scan button, or run a scan immediately using the Scan Now button.
Optionally search for SNMP devices and vPro enabled machines using the Schedule Scan dialog.
A scan can be assigned to multiple machine IDs.
