Network discovery & map

Find what’s on your network automatically, then see it laid out by subnet on the Network Map.

Discover the network

Instead of adding every device by hand, let SwanDesk find them:

  • SNMP sweep — scan a range of IP addresses (SNMP v1/v2c) to pick up switches, printers, and other network gear and pull them into your inventory.
  • Windows (WMI) — read the installed software off your Windows machines to feed the software inventory.

Discovery is an administrator task and part of the paid editions.

The Network Map

Reports → Network Map lays your hosts out by subnet, with each device shown as a chip colored by its role and a legend you can click to filter. It’s a quick picture of what’s on the network — and you can export it to HTML or CSV, or print it.

The Reports hub

The Reports section gathers these together — the software audit and the network map — in one place for staff on the paid editions.
