How do I create a classic discovery rule?

Purpose

To discover classic devices, NSP requires a classic discovery rule. The classic discovery rule is associated with a unified discovery rule. NSP performs scans of the network to look for devices matching specifications provided in active unified discovery rules. You can also launch a discovery manually.

RESTCONF APIs are also available for device discovery and management; see the Device Administration and Mediation RESTCONF APIs documentation on the Network Developer Portal.

Note: The special characters ; and \ can appear in the names of classic discover rules that have been synched from NFM-P. These characters are not allowed in NSP. Rules with these characters in their names cannot be edited or deleted in NSP.
