Running
IP

Discovery

to

Identify

Devices
You
can

run

IP

Discovery

to

locate

IP

addresses

of

the

Catalyst

6500

series

chassis

(hosting

the

ACE
module),
ACE

appliance,

and

Catalyst

6500

Virtual

Switching

System

(VSS)

devices.
After
establishing

Telnet

and

SNMP

credentials

(see

the

“Configuring

Device

Access

Credentials”
section
on

page

5-29 ),

use

this

procedure

to

identify

chassis

and

ACEs

on

your

network.
Caution
IP
Discovery

sends

unencrpyted

cr

edentials

(Telnet
and
SNMP)

to

all

devices

on

the

specified
subnet
that
respond

to

the

associated

ports.

This

is

a

potential

security

risk

because

credentials

are

broadcast
out
to

one

or

more

networks.

IP

Discovery

may

also

find

devices

that

cannot

be

imported

or

be

unable
to
find

devices

that

could

be

imported.
Before
You

Begin
For
this

procedure,

you

need

the

follow

items:

•
IP
address

for

the

discovery

process.

•
Applicable
subnet

mask.

•
Valid
credentials

for
this
discovery

(see

the
“Configuring
Device
Access
Credentials”

section

on
page
5-29 ).
