SNMP Network Discovery Attribute Reference

This reference lists the attributes that Device Security collects from SNMP Network Discovery, their names as stored in Device Security, and the Device Security fields they map to.
When Device Security uses SNMP to discover network topology from switches, it learns device and network details that enrich the inventory. The attributes in this reference cover SNMP endpoints, IP/MAC binding records, neighbor discovery data, network interfaces, and subnet information.
The third-party attribute name in Device Security refers to the attribute name as it appears in the Assets Inventory table and in Query Engine. This follows the format of third-party-name.attribute-name. When viewing the attribute name in the Assets Inventory table column selector or on a Device Details page, where the third-party name can be found as a header for the attributes section, then the third-party name is removed from the attribute name.
For example, micrsoft_defender_xdr.macAddress would appear in the Query Builder and in the Assets Inventory table, but under Device DetailsAttributesIntegration Specific AttributesMicrosoft Defender, the attribute would appear as macAddress.

Endpoint Attributes

Device Security collects endpoint attributes discovered via SNMP neighbor discovery. Each record describes a client or end device detected on the network.
