Cisco Switch Wireless Access Point (WAP) discovery
The ServiceNow Discovery application uses the Cisco WAPs extension to find Wireless Access Points (WAPs) that are controlled by a Cisco network switch. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
This extension extends the Network Switch discovery pattern. For more information, see Network switch and router discovery.
Discovery uses the Cisco WAPs extension to run horizontal discovery.
