Network Discovery is a Cloudaware integration that allows for the discovery of SNMP- and IP-based devices connected to an internal customer network. This guide explains how to add a network segment to Cloudaware.
To see the Cloudaware Network Discovery integration in action, request a demo.
Prerequisites
Cloudaware Breeze Agent must be deployed on a server that has access to the internal enterprise network.
Add Network Segment (subnet)
Log in to your Cloudaware account → Admin.
Find Network Discovery in the list of integrations, click +Add.
To add a network segment (subnet), fill out the form:
WHERE
Name - set up a name for the integration
Breeze agent - select the server with Cloudaware Breeze agent installed from the list
Subnet - insert IP address(es) of the subnet(s) in the format 1.1.1.1/24 (these will be displayed as network segments)
SNMP profiles - leave as ‘None selected’ for initial setup
Vulnerability Scanning - check the box to enable Cloudaware vulnerability scanning for discovered network devices
Click Save.
4. The green light in 'Status' for the network segment means that the integration has been successfully configured. If there is a red light, please contact support@cloudaware.com.
5. For discovery of SNMP-enabled devices (optional), set up SNMP profiles. Select the tab 'SNMP Profile' → Add SNMP Profile. Fill out the form:
WHERE
Name - insert a meaningful name to distinguish the SNMP profile
Version - select SNMP version*
Port (optional) - insert the port where SNMP is set up
Community - insert SNMP community
Click Save.
