Feature Request - scan subnet or range in Device Discovery mode #61

Unless I've missed something, scanning more than a single device (short or listing them separately) is not currently supported in the Device Discovery mode and is only available in the Network Discovery mode. This would be fine if the Network Discovery mode supported actually logging into the devices like the Device Discovery mode does, to pull the data in about the device.

So, the current modes result in a sort of catch-22 scenario.

Please add support for scanning subnets and ranges to the Device Discovery mode.

Hi @JessePeden Thanks for the FR. Currently it supports single device connection to match username/password to access the devices. How would be your suggestion for when a IP is found? which should be the credentials to access it? Try same credentials for every new IP found?

In our particular case, yes. But I could also see it potentially supporting being broken up into smaller blocks of hosts that could be set to use different credentials per block, or credentials being defined at a higher parent tier. Similar to how things would be defined in a central management platform such as Panorama or FMC, where you have templates grouped together to form a stack, and things can be defined at any level (at the top or further down the chain).
