Work with devices found through XDD

Unmanaged devices found through extended device discovery's ARP discovery method appear in the Unmanaged device discovery window's Computers list. WAP Devices found through extended device discovery's WAP discovery method appear in the Unmanaged device discovery window's Wireless Access Points list.

From these lists you can perform the normal UDD options, such as moving them to other groups. Right-click a device to access its shortcut menu and use the available options.

You can also import and export extended device discovery exceptions. An exception is a device on the network that isn't manageable or that the administrator knows about but doesn't want extended device discovery to report on.

These exceptions are in a text CSV file format that consists of comma-separated IP and MAC addresses, in that order, one pair per line. For example:

10.30.14.22,00166D0698CF

10.30.14.23,00166D0698F3

10.30.14.24,00166D0698DA

The exceptions export includes all exceptions stored in the database. The exceptions import replaces all exceptions stored in the database with the exceptions you include in the import file.
