When you run an IP address type of discovery, port probes scan devices without the use of credentials, and then Discovery can determine which classifiers to use. You can add port probes and additional classifiers for IP address discovery.

About this task
Although no credentials are required to scan for Windows or UNIX devices with this type
of scan, credentials are still
required for SNMP devices. By determining which ports are open on the devices that
it scans, IP address classification can discover such things as the type of device
(computer, UPS, etc.), operating system, running applications, and version
numbers.
Note: IP address classification attempts to classify
devices when no credentials are available; however, Discovery will use
credentials when they are available, even when IP address classification is
configured.
To use IP address classification, follow these steps:
