Asset Discovery

the asset discovery service scans the network and returns a list of devices it finds this allows you to easily find litmus edge devices and copy their ip addresses discovery is disabled on all interfaces by default you can enable it at any time once enabled, discovery scans all network addresses at one second intervals it may take time to scan an entire network scanning doesn't stop until it is disabled if a device is not recognized after ten minutes, it is removed from the list to search for devices that are specific to device protocols and drivers, use the asset discovery tool docid\ pvdhiqdfezem4kmkyjk5p important litmus edge enforces restrictions to prevent the following issues security alerts because discovery regularly scans the network, security systems (such as trojan detection systems) might flag this activity to avoid security warnings, network scans are limited to one second intervals, and devices are removed from the list after ten minutes of inactivity missing devices discovery only supports subnet / 24 networks to limit the number of nodes to discover this restriction prevents discovery from taking longer than ten minutes for each device access asset discovery ui you can access asset discovery from the devicehub to access asset discovery log in to litmus edge from the navigation panel, navigate to devicehub > asset discovery the asset discovery pane appears listing all the ethernet interfaces build availability the asset discovery feature is supported in the following builds litmus edge standard litmus edge docker to utilize this feature in litmus edge docker , you will need to configure the container to use macvlan network mode this allows the container to appear as a unique mac address on the physical network enabling asset discovery in le docker with macvlan to configure litmus edge docker for asset discovery using the macvlan network mode, follow these steps 1\ use the following command to create a macvlan network on your docker host important notes this is just an example please consider the below points adjust the parameter values to match your specific network configuration replace 10 17 2 169 with a suitable ip address from your network range, and litmusedge std docker 3 16 1 with the name of your docker image ensure that the eth1 network interface matches your docker host configuration bas docker network create d macvlan subnet=10 17 0 0/22 gateway=10 17 0 1 o parent=eth1 mymacvlan 2\ after creating the macvlan network, run the following command to start the litmus edge docker container with the appropriate network settings shel docker run name le rm d cap add=net admin network mymacvlan ip 10 17 2 169 litmusedge std docker 3 16 1 next steps discover devices on the network docid\ eqbogxnbpwmgwy5vralsf
