Gateway Nodes and Network Discovery

Gateway Nodes

Each network detected by Discovery displays as a gateway node underneath the top KNM node in the monitor tree. There is a one to one correspondence between networks detected in Discovery and gateway nodes shown in Network Monitor. You cannot delete a gateway node in the Network Monitor module of the VSA.

If you change the name of the network in Discovery, the name of the gateway node changes in the Network Monitor module.

Expand each gateway node to display the assets discovered on the network and marked as assets. The list of assets includes computers and devices installed with an agent and agentless computers and devices promoted to an asset.

Adding Groups Manually

You can add groups to gateway nodes. Recurring network discovery scans do not move re-discovered assets out of the groups they are assigned to.

Moving Assets

You can only move assets between groups within the same gateway node.
