What is onboarding and how do I start it?

Enterprise NSP has an onboarding wizard that takes you through the basics of setting up the NSP managed network. You will import artifacts to enable node management, create discovery rules to scan the network, manage node discovery, configure map options, enable statistics collection, and set up user accounts that will grant users specific permissions. This chapter describes each major step of the onboarding wizard.

The onboarding wizard starts automatically when you log into Enterprise NSP for the first time. If you close the onboarding wizard without finishing or skipping it, you can return to it by navigating to the following URL:

https://nsp_ip_address/web/onboarding/home

Note: You cannot return to the onboarding wizard if you finish or skip the process. A warning stating this is displayed and must be confirmed before users can exit, skip, or finish the onboarding wizard.
