Difference between custom and standard discovery in LMS 4.2

[Wolfgang Maier]

Hi,

can someone explain me whats the difference betwwen custom and standard discovery? There´s a line on the help page:

"The Use Policy Configuration Settings  radio button will be enabled only after adding a Default Credential Set  Policy."

The radio button is not enabled although I´ve  two default credential sets and two default credential sets policy configuration.

This is very confusing. Can someone explain the difference? Thank you.

Regards,

Chris

This question is old and not answered, but turns up first in a Google search for "lms standard discovery". Since I had the same question, I'll try to answer.

The standard discovery is a simplified (but good enough in my case) discovery with fewer configuration options. The discovery modules used, not configurable, are CDP/LLDP, routing table and ARP. If you need to use the OSPF, ping sweep, etc., modules, apply filters, or other fine tuning, then choose the custom discovery instead.
