Discovery of network devices

Hi,

due to security reason, PRTG will not be able to ping to the devices. Can PRTG proceed to discovery them purely based on SNMP?

Thanks

ping prtg snmp

The method that is used to Auto-Discover devices on a network is described in detail here. I'm afraid that ping is essential to our software's Auto-Discovery feature.
