PDU scanning question

[KevinA-REJIS]

By default, does Lansweeper do any additional scanning beyond SNMP for power distribution units? (ex: security scanning, probing for network stack vulnerabilities)

We have a DCIM server that monitors our PDUs, and it's been alerting lost communications with some them. We've determined that these alerts will follow seconds after Lansweeper does a scan of the PDUs. I'm working with the PDU manufacturer to determine if the PDUs are actually losing connection, or if maybe something in the Lansweeper scan is interfering with communication between the PDUs and the DCIM server.

Apart from the global credentials, we have a SNMP v1/v2 community string set up. I also have some custom OIDs for the firmware version and Current values of the units.

The actual scan that retrieves the data will indeed be only using SNMP. However, during the first stage of the scan, Lansweeper will be checking for different open ports to determine the type of the device before it proceeds.
