Zones in Network Discovery Rules

To improve performance, discovery rules can be configured so that the zones in the rule include the sensing interfaces on your managed devices that are physically connected to the networks-to-monitor in the rule.

Unfortunately, you may not always be kept informed of network configuration changes. A network administrator may modify a network configuration through routing or host changes without informing you, which may make it challenging to stay on top of proper network discovery policy configurations. If you do not know how the sensing interfaces on your managed devices are physically connected to your network, leave the zone configuration as the default. This default causes the system to deploy the discovery rule to all zones in your deployment. (If no zones are excluded, the system deploy the discovery policy to all zones.)
