This section describes the procedure for discovering various types of Non-5G Core physical devices.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you perform the following tasks:
  • The IP and ESM Domain Managers must be started in EDAA enabled mode for triggering discovery operations from VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI.
  • For performing discovery and discovery related operations, configure the IP servers under Domain Manager configuration in Smarts Integration. For more information, see Create Smarts Integration topic.
