For successful discovery, the probe should be able to ping the devices. To collect details about the devices, we use various protocols like WMI, SSH and SNMP

Note: WMI is controlled by RPC and DCOM settings. RPC dynamic port allocation will use a random port above 1024. Opening all of the ports above 1024 is not feasible. However, you can restrict the access by adding entries manually in the registry. Refer to this Microsoft article for instructions.
