Device management is the fundamental feature of ENA. This article presents an overview of device management in ENA. Please see the Inventory and Discovery section for further help and information on this topic.

How do I discover what is on my network?

This is the starting point of managing your network with Entuity Network Analytics. With ENA, you can both schedule and manually run automatic discovery of the devices on your network. This allows you to see what devices are on your network in just a few clicks. You can do this from the Auto Discovery page, or from the command line. By default, devices are not automatically placed under management, but you can configure Entuity so that they are.
