Using Layer 2 Scan

Layer 2 discovery uses the WhatsConfigured discovery engine to perform ARP Cache and Ping Sweep discoveries of layer 2 networking information. This information is used to create graphical representations of the physical network connections between discovered devices.

Note: The Layer 2 discovery feature is available in WhatsUp Gold when you are licensed for WhatsConnected or when you are running the WhatsUp Gold product evaluation. To update or purchase a license, visit the MyIpswitch portal.

• Use layer 2 discovery and generate layer 2 topology map (available for WhatsConnected license). Select this option to enable Layer 2 discovery using ARP Cache and Ping Sweep discovery methods.
