How do I edit or delete a discovery rule?

CAUTION

Communication problems

If a discovery rule is edited after devices have been discovered, communication with devices may be affected.

If a discovery rule is deleted, the discovered NEs are not removed from the NSP. However, the IP ranges for affected devices must be added to a remaining discovery rule to prevent loss of communication.

You can edit a discovery rule to change the admin state or scan interval, add mediation protocols and policies, for example, to add a gRPC mediation policy for telemetry, associate or remove a classic discovery rule, or to change the lists of included or excluded IP ranges.

If mediation or reachability policies in a discovery rule are added or changed, the policy update is propagated to the NEs that have already been discovered.
