403 Network Discovery Tips with Domotz and EtherScope nXG

Want to quickly know what devices are on a client's network?
Here are some tips and tricks from a recent discovery audit.
Hint: Use NetAlly and Domotz

Show Notes

This episode expands on what I mentioned last episode where I helped a fellow MSP with a network discovery audit. I used both the NetAlly EtherScope nXG and a Domotz box to scan the network. We do a deep dive into my audit and what I provided my client afterwards.

For prospects, you can assure them that you won't need a password to "see" their network.

With the EtherScope you can do all this in just a few minutes:

Scan up to 1024 IP Addresses
Determine Device Types
See both wired and wireless networks
Use SNMP to look inside routers and managed switches
Looks are what devices are connected to what switch
Identify ports with errors
Find bad subnet masks
