Active Discovery is used to allow a sensor to send packets to the network to discover previously unseen devices and gather additional properties for known devices.

Active Discovery operates in Broadcast and Unicast, and responses received will be analyzed by Cisco Cyber Vision.

An Active Discovery policy is a list of settings which define protocols and their parameters that will be used to scan the industrial network. The policy will be used in a preset and be applied on a list of sensors and components.
