Lansweeper Network Discovery

Lansweeper Network Discovery is an automated, high-speed network discovery and IP topology mapping engine designed to scan corporate network environments and locate every connected IP-enabled device without requiring agent installation. Undocumented devices on corporate networks create significant security vulnerabilities and operational headaches, often remaining invisible until an outage or breach occurs. Lansweeper Network Discovery tackles this challenge by deploying advanced multi-protocol scanning mechanisms—including SNMP, SSH, WMI, WinRM, and UPnP—across IP subnets to identify and profile network switches, routers, firewalls, printers, VOIP phones, and IoT endpoints. The engine automatically maps switch port connections, revealing exactly which physical switch port and VLAN each endpoint is plugged into across corporate campus networks and data centers. Network administrators can detect unauthorized rogue devices the instant they connect to the network, receive alerts on newly exposed network ports, and track IP address assignments across subnets to avoid addressing conflicts. By pairing deep network protocol analysis with automated topology visualization, Lansweeper Network Discovery eliminates infrastructure blind spots, accelerates network troubleshooting, and feeds clean, actionable network topology data directly into enterprise ITSM platforms like Jira Service Management and ServiceNow.
