An appliance can be setup to perform IP Discovery using a variety of discovery methodologies including Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Network Basic Input\/Output System (NetBIOS), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or Full (IP, MAC, OS, NetBIOS) comprehensive discovery. IP Discovery can begin right after setup, scheduled for a later time or enabled for recurring discovery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>vDiscovery:<\/strong>\u00a0This feature helps identify, retrieve and retain data about Subscriptions, vNets, Subnets Virtual Machines (VMs) and interfaces (such as a vSwitch or vRouter) running in private, public and hybrid environments.\u00a0 These are managed through Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs) including VMware, OpenStack, Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud and Microsoft Azure Government.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Automated discovery is critical to the success of the organization.\u00a0 It enables work to operate on-demand and provides access to real-time data for a range of business-critical activities, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Infrastructure protection<\/strong>\u00a0to support app and service availability and performance<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data protection and malware mitigation<\/strong>\u00a0to protect users and data<\/li>\n<li><strong>Threat containment<\/strong>\u00a0to enable fast incident response and ecosystem alerting<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revenue and operations<\/strong>\u00a0to optimize efficiency, service delivery and earnings opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"toc-hId-441759828\">How Discovery Helps Government<\/h2>\n<p>Many agencies operate multiple accounts (subscriptions).\u00a0 Cloud environments are often quite dynamic as VMs are created and terminated rapidly and at a moment\u2019s notice, making them increasingly difficult to keep track of and manage.\u00a0 With Infoblox Discovery, tasks can be automated, allowing Infoblox to track your cloud environments and store data in IPAM.\u00a0 When combined with Cloud Network Automation (CNA), admins gain comprehensive visibility into the cloud environments through a centralized management console.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoblox.com\/solutions\/government\/?utm_source=blox-community&amp;utm_campaign=community-q2&amp;utm_medium=blox-community\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Infoblox<\/a>\u00a0makes it easy to define discovery jobs using a vDiscovery Job Wizard.\u00a0 It can also manage all configured vDiscovery jobs with the vDiscovery Job Manager and API.\u00a0 vNIOS synchronizes the successive detected data (not the associated NIOS objects) with the data in the targeted CMP.\u00a0 Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>VM IP Address Change:<\/strong>\u00a0When you change the IP address of a VM, this data is automatically updated upon the next discovery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>VM Termination:<\/strong>\u00a0If you terminate a VM, the VM and its associated IPAM data is automatically deleted from the NIOS database, keeping IPAM information relevant without the need for any manual cleanup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CMP Data Deletion:\u00a0<\/strong>If you delete certain data on the CMP, the respective discovered data is removed from the NIOS database.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleanup:<\/strong>\u00a0If you change the parameters of a vDiscovery Job, the last detected data from this job will be automatically cleaned-up, enabling the appliance to continue synchronizing data for successive discoveries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data Retention:<\/strong>\u00a0If you prefer not to lose detected data for a specific vDiscovery job, you can create a new vDiscovery job for the new collection rather than modifying the current job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once a discovery is made, the appliance updates the database with the new data using the configured settings for a variety of different types of data.\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Data Management:<\/strong>\u00a0You can merge newly discovered data, consolidate managed data, or update unmanaged data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unmanaged\/Conflict Data:<\/strong>\u00a0The appliance also identifies unmanaged and conflict data:\n<ul>\n<li><em>Unmanaged Data:<\/em>\u00a0This is discovered data that is\u00a0<em>not configured<\/em>\u00a0for DNS or DHCP and has no associated objects in the NIOS database.<\/li>\n<li><em>Conflict Data:<\/em>\u00a0This is discovered data\u00a0<em>configured<\/em>\u00a0for DNS or DHCP and has associated NIOS object or objects, but certain key values are different than those in the NIOS database.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Discovered Data:<\/strong>\u00a0The Grid Manager displays discovered data in the Discovered Data section of the IP address properties panel when viewing an individual IP, making it easy to track IP usage and view detailed information for the VM associated with it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Syslog:<\/strong>\u00a0The appliance records admin operations in the audit log and discovery operations in the syslog, providing a whole new level of accountability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"toc-hId-1329263509\">The Discovery Process<\/h2>\n<p>The graphic below shows an overview of the discovery processes. You can set up and begin an IP discovery from the Discovery Manager wizard and a vDiscovery from the vDiscovery Job Manager wizard, where an Infoblox Grid member is assigned to run the discovery tasks. \u00a0After configuring an IP discovery task and a vDiscovery job, the Grid Master sends the discovery requests to the targeted member. Based on how you configure the discovery tasks, the selected member runs the discoveries, collects data from the detected and virtual entities from the specified networks and cloud platforms. The Grid member updates the Grid Master with the discovered results, which then updates the database with discovered data based on the discovery configuration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1482\" src=\"https:\/\/live-infoblox-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ip-discovery-process.png\" alt=\"NIOS - IP Discovery Process\" width=\"600\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.infoblox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ip-discovery-process.png 600w, https:\/\/www.infoblox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ip-discovery-process-300x183.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-hId--2078200106\">The Key Takeaway<\/h2>\n<p>With Infoblox discovery, admins gain a comprehensive and granular view of network data which includes active devices, hosts, virtual entities and cloud platforms. Discovery also brings in data for multiple CMPs and accounts under a single pane of glass, giving admins confidence that databases are current with complete and real-time data based on their discovery criteria. And they have access to robust data and analytics, providing actionable insights and empowering them to make security and business decisions to better manage resources and fulfill the agency\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"toc-hId--1190696425\">To Learn More<\/h2>\n<p>Infoblox provides numerous resources to enable successful integrations between cloud and on-premise networks and ensure mission success.
