Discovered

Use the Discovered tab to view devices new to your network not yet added to the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.

To access the Discovered tab open the Network tab and select the Discovered tab.

Discovered Tab Display

Devices appear on the Discovered tab when they are:

  • Discovered via the Site tab and one of the following occurs:
    • The Automatically Add Devices checkbox is not selected in the Site Actions section of the tab.
    • The serial number of the device matches:
      • The serial number of another device being discovered.
      • The serial number of a device already in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.
    • The serial number is not defined for a device and the base MAC address matches:
      • The base MAC address of another device being discovered.
      • The base MAC address of a device already in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.
    • The serial number and base MAC address are not defined for a device and the IP address matches:
      • The IP address of another device being discovered.
      • The IP address of a device already in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.
    • The device uses a profile different than those associated with devices that already exist in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.
  • Discovered using the Pre-Register Device window for your ZTP+ (Zero Touch Provisioning Plus) enabled devices.
    •   NOTE: ZTP+ functionality is supported on ExtremeXOS/Switch Engine devices on which version 21.1 (or greater) is installed, FastPath devices, Fabric Manager, ExtremeAnalytics engines, and Access Control engines.
  • Discovered using a trap to discover a ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) enabled device.
    •   NOTE: ZTP functionality is not identical to ZTP+ functionality.

Device Grouping

ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine can group devices with data that match another newly discovered device or a device that currently exists in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database. By default, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine grouping in the Discovered View is by the Discovered ID column.

Enable or remove grouping functionality on the Discovered tab by selecting the arrow icon in the right-side of a column and selecting or deselecting the Show in Groups checkbox, respectively. Additionally, to change the grouping to a column other than Discovered ID, select the Group by This Field option in a specific column to group devices based on the criteria of that column.

For example, you are adding three devices to ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine that appear on the Discovered tab. All three devices share the same Serial Number, but have different IP Addresses. The Discovered ID column will display the same serial number. Selecting Group by This Field in the menu for the Serial Number column would group the devices with the same serial number together.

Use the information in the Status column to determine which device to add to the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database. You can then clear the remaining devices from the list.

Preventing duplicate devices in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine allows you to:

  • Avoid unnecessary polling of devices
  • Minimize the collection of statistics
  • Maximize the efficiency of your device count license
  • Ensure there are not multiple configurations of the device in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine

The Potential Duplicate Devices report includes information about potential duplicate devices that may already exist in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database. This report is included in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine's Reports > Report Catalog > Device tab.

The following columns are included in the Potential Duplicate Devices report:

Discovered ID

Columns

The columns on the Discovered tab display the details about the devices available to be added to the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.

IP Address
The IP Address column displays the IP address assigned to the discovered device.
Discovered ID
The Discovered ID column displays the Serial Number, Base MAC address, or IP Address assigned to discovered devices, which is used to group potential device duplicates. If devices are potential duplicates, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine groups potential devices first by Serial Number, then by Base MAC address, then by IP address. When the Show in Groups checkbox is selected and the Discovered ID column is set as the Group by this Field for the view, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine groups those devices so potential duplicates are displayed. Select the device to add it to ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, so it appears in the Device View, maps, and other areas of ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine.

For example, if you added two devices to ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine first attempts to group the devices by a shared Serial Number. If there is no serial number, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine attempts to group the devices by a shared Base MAC address. If the values for both the Serial Number and the Base MAC address are blank, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine then attempts to group devices by a shared IP address.
Connected IP Address
The Connected IP Address column displays the IP address a ZTP+-enabled device used to communicate with ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine.
Family
The Family column displays the series of devices to which a device belongs, known as a device family in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine.
Type
The Type column displays the device type, when the discovery determines it in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine. If ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine does not have enough information to determine the device type, the type column is blank.
Serial Number
The Serial Number column displays the serial number of the device.
Base MAC
The Base MAC column displays the MAC address of the device.
Source
The Source column displays the source of the functionality that added the device to the Discovered tab in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine. For example, the Source column displays ZTP+ when the device has been added by ZTP+ functionality. The Source column also displays subnet details for devices added to the Discovered tab via Discovery functionality.
Site Path
The Site Path column shows the site to which the device is assigned. To change the site, select the Add Devices button for devices with a Status of New, the Edit Devices button for devices with a Status of Exists, or the Configure Device view for devices discovered via ZTP+, and use the Default Site drop-down list in the Device section of the window to select an existing site.

  WARNING:

When changing the Default Site you are prompted to Import Site Configuration to the device.

If you select Yes to Import Site Configuration:

  • The existing VLAN Definition, Ports, and ZTP+ Device Settings assigned are overwritten on the device.
  • Any applicable Automated Port Templates from the selected site are assigned to the relevant ports on the device.
  • You can create new sites on the Network > Devices tab.
    •  
    Profile
    The Profile column displays the profile the device is using for its administrative SNMP and CLI credentials. To change the profile, select the Add Devices button for devices with a Status of New, the Edit Devices button for devices with a Status of Exists, or the Configure Device view for devices discovered via ZTP+, and use the Admin Profile drop-down list in the Device section of the window to select an existing profile.

    You can create new profiles on the Administration > Profiles tab.
    Status
    The Status column indicates whether the device exists in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.
    • Exists — The device already exists in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database with the same Profile.
    • Exists [<Profile Name>] — The device already exists in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database with a different Profile, followed by the name of the device profile currently used by the device in the database.
    • Matches [SN:<########>] <list of matching IPs> — The serial number of the device matches the serial number(s) of devices currently in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database, followed by the device IP Address(es) in the database which match the Serial Number.
    • Matches [MAC:<########>] <list of matching IPs> —The serial number of the device is blank and the Base MAC address of the device matches the Base MAC address of device(s) currently in the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database (displayed as part of the Status), followed by the IP address(es) currently used by the devices in the database.
    • New — The device is discovered by ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, but it has not yet been added to the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.
    • ZTP+ Registered — The ZTP+-enabled device is registered in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine.
    • ZTP+ Staged — The configuration is staged in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine for the ZTP+-enabled device .
    • ZTP+ Complete — The ZTP+-enabled device is configured successfully in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine and is ready to be added to the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine database.

    • ZTP+ RMA Failed — The RMA process did not complete successfully for the ZTP+-enabled device (Remove from Service is selected on the Device tab in the Configure Device window).
    Details
    The Details column shows whether the profile is acceptable for the device as configured on the Site tab in the Profiles list. If the Reject checkbox is selected for the profile on the Site tab, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine does not successfully discover the device using that profile, even if the SNMP credentials in the profile are successful. This is to prevent ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine from discovering devices using less secure profiles. For ZTP+-enabled devices, the Details column displays details about the devices' ZTP+ status.
    Firmware
    The Firmware column shows the version number of the firmware or boot PROM image.
    Connector
