What is the purpose of the Neighbors Discovery feature?

• A. Discover nearby devices
• B. Configure firewall rules
• C. Manage user accounts
• D. Monitor licenses

Answer: (A)

Neighbors Discovery is about identifying devices on the local network. It works by exchanging discovery information with devices on the same segment, building a list of nearby hosts with details like IP addresses, MAC addresses, and sometimes vendor or device type. This gives you quick visibility into who is present, how they’re connected, and how the network looks on the ground. That visibility is especially useful for inventory, troubleshooting connectivity, and understanding topology when adding new devices.

It isn’t about setting up firewall rules, managing user accounts, or monitoring licenses, which are separate management tasks. Those functions involve security policies, access control, or licensing, not discovering who’s on the network.
