Configuring Discovery Settings

A network discovery requires a general collection of settings to define a network discovery scope. Use the Discovery Settings to edit discovery collection settings, select a discovery configuration from the list of network discovery collections, or enter information for a new discovery collection. Discovery settings can be used in discovery tasks to schedule a scan. See Configuring Discovery Tasks for more information on discovery tasks.
