If the port scan batch size is set to 1000, how will the discovery process respond for 10,000 IP addresses using one MID Server?

The correct choice indicates that the discovery process will create 10 probes, with each scanning 1000 IP addresses, which is an accurate reflection of how the system manages large quantities of addresses given a specific batch size for port scanning.

In the context of ServiceNow Discovery, a MID Server is responsible for scanning and collecting data from devices across the network. When the port scan batch size is set to 1000, the MID Server is configured to handle only 1000 IP addresses at a time in a single probe. For a total of 10,000 IP addresses, the discovery process will break down the scans into manageable groups.

This method is not only efficient but also prevents overwhelming the MID Server or the target devices with too many concurrent scan requests. By creating 10 separate probes, the MID Server processes and gathers information incrementally, thereby ensuring that it adheres to both limitations in resources and best practices in network scanning.

The other options do not accurately represent the behavior of the discovery process. Scanning all addresses in a single probe would exceed the batch size limit, and reducing the total scanned addresses would not be a typical behavior of the discovery process as it is designed to handle the full set of addresses unless configured otherwise.
