With Cisco Prime Infrastructure, you can now discover the wired and wireless network in just one discovery. When 

the discovery profile is saved, select the discovery profile and click the Run Now button as shown in the figure 

below. The results will be displayed on the same page as the discovery settings. You can refresh the job and watch 

the status of the discovery in real time. 

 

In addition to running discovery in real time, you can schedule discovery to run when you want it. Select the 

discovery profile name and click Schedule instead of Run Now. You will get a modal pop-up that looks like the 

figure (below). Scheduling is extremely flexible in Cisco Prime Infrastructure. You can run every x minutes to y 

years. 

 

Now that we have discovered our wired/wireless network, how can we make sure we are archiving the entire 

inventory, configuration, and other relevant information? We can start with inventory, as that is where we will know 

whether Cisco Prime Infrastructure was having issues fetching inventory or configuration information. 

Navigate to Operate > Device Work Center to see the entire inventory that has been discovered. The left pane 

allows you to filter on devices based on the device types or user-defined group that we can create. The top portion 

of the Device Work Center allows you to see quick information on the device as shown in the figure below. Once 
you click the device’s name, the bottom pane is populated with more detailed information. Tabs in the bottom pane 

can be changed to quickly access focused, detailed information as seen in the image below.
