Describes Active Discovery policies used to scan industrial networks for device identification and property gathering. These policies define the protocols and parameters applied to sensors to discover unseen devices and analyze network responses.
Active Discovery is a network scanning mechanism that allows a sensor to send packets to the network to discover previously unseen devices and gather additional properties for known devices.
