okay so the vibe is: you run it with some options and an IP range, periodt.

fusioninventory-netdiscovery [options] --first <address> --last
<address>

  Options:
    --first <ADDRESS>      IP range first address
    --last <ADDRESS>       IP range last address
    --port <PORT[,PORT2]>  SNMP port (161)
    --protocol <PROT[,P2]> SNMP protocol/domain (udp/ipv4)

    --entity <ENTITY>      GLPI entity
    --threads <COUNT>      number of discovery threads (1)
    --control              output control messages
    -i --inventory         chain with netinventory task for discovered devices
    -s --save <FOLDER>     base folder where to save discovery and inventory xmls
                            - netdiscovery xmls will go in <FOLDER>/netdiscovery
                            - netinventory xmls will go in <FOLDER>/netinventory
    --debug                debug output

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

fusioninventory-netdiscovery is literally the way you run a network discovery task without a GLPI server. no server, no problem, she's doing it solo and she's thriving 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --first ADDRESS — sets the very first IP address of the network range you're about to scan. the beginning of the story 🌈
• --last ADDRESS — sets the last IP address of the network range to scan. the end of the story 🎀
• --port PORT[,PORT2] — the list of ports to try. defaults to: 161
  • fr fr you can stack them: set it to 161,16100 to hit the default port first and then 16100 after. she's thorough 💖
• --protocol PROTOCOL[,PROTOCOL2] — the list of protocols to try. defaults to: udp/ipv4
  • possible values are: udp/ipv4, udp/ipv6, tcp/ipv4, tcp/ipv6 — pick your fighter ✨
• --community STRING — uses the string you give it as the SNMP community (and lowkey assumes SNMPv1 while doing it).
• --credentials STRING — uses your string as the SNMP credentials specification. it's a comma-separated list of key:value auth params, and it's giving very flexible, like:
  • version:2c,community:public
  • version:3,username:admin,authprotocol:sha,authpassword:s3cr3t
  • etc. — iykyk, go wild 🧚
• --timeout TIME — sets the SNMP timeout, in seconds.
• --entity ENTITY — sets the GLPI entity.
• --threads COUNT — uses the given number of inventory threads. parallel queen 👑
• --control — outputs server-agent control messages, in addition to the inventory result itself. two things at once, multitasking icon.
• --debug — turns debug mode on. and ngl? you can use it multiple times for extra verbosity. more --debug = more tea ☕💀

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

run a discovery against a network range, using SNMP version 1:

$> fusioninventory-netdiscovery --first 192.168.0.1 --last 192.168.0.254 \
--community public

run a discovery against a network range, using multiple SNMP credentials:

$> fusioninventory-netdiscovery --first 192.168.0.1 --last 192.168.0.254 \
--credentials version:2c,community:public \
--credentials version:3,username:admin,authprotocol:sha,authpassword:s3cr3t
