This
service collects, analyzes, discovers and reports on
the state of networks and systems, including the configuration status,
capabilities, resource availability of system/network entities, addresses,
services, and the interconnection pattern/ topology of the devices. Auto
discovery services provide such information dynamically, although security
considerations and virtual connectivity may cause problems with accuracy of
retuned information of auto discovery services. Discovery and Inventory
management services are essential for proper execution of provisioning and
maintenance as well as performance, fault and configuration management.
