What types of devices does JDisc Discovery support?

Category: Discovery

JDisc Discovery is not limited to a specific manufacturer or to a particular device type. Our goal is to support virtually any device that is connected to the network. However, different devices divulge different sets of information. Therefore, it is not possible to get the full set of information for all devices. JDisc Discovery gets very detailed information for computers running with the most common operating systems.

However it gets only basic information (model, brand, serial number, IP address) for other SNMP based devices such as switches and routers.

Detailed network documentation information is available for:

  • Windows computers with Windows NT 4.0 and above
  • HP-UX workstations and servers
  • Oracle Solaris workstations and servers
  • IBM AIX workstations and servers
  • Linux computers
  • VMware ESX(i) servers
  • MAC OS X computers

Basis identification is available for:

  • SNMP based devices (such as routers, switches, network printers)
  • IP phones

In case a new device has been discovered, which JDisc Discovery doesn’t recognize yet, please contact support@jdisc.com . We are able to integrate most of the new devices very quickly into our tool.
