What is Network Discovery ?
Network discovery is the process through which
computers and network devices are able to find
each other. It enables network devices over a
local network to connect and communicate with
other devices.
Importance of Network Discovery:
If Network Discovery is off, then
We dont know when something new comes

on the network.
If We dont know what we have, we cannot

hope to monitor and manage it.

We cant track down interconnected

problems.
