IPv6

This checkbox enables the creation of assets with an IPv6 address that are detected through passive monitoring.

Discovery

This checkbox lets you enable/disable Discovery. The default setting is disabled.

Discovery is a method of identification of actors in the network through the usage of lightweight protocol-specific broadcast messages. These messages cause the actors to reply with identity information. The process is repeated with interleaving, predefined intervals. On each repetition, the sensor will identify the suitable network interfaces and send broadcast messages through them to reach the subnetworks the sensor is connected to.
