By default, Switch Center is collecting network nodes by using SNMP protocol. The nodes information is collected from the default gateway that configured on the platform that runs Switch Center and from the network segments that connected directly to Switch Center platform. There are some cases that SNMP protocol can't be used like unmanaged remote networks or specific secured private networks. In that case Switch Center can discover nodes MAC and IP addresses information from Microsoft DHCP servers that used by the remote unmanaged or secured networks computers.
