Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
Source: Documentation
The correct answers are "MID Server" and "Target IP".
Explanation:
ServiceNow's Quick Discovery is a process that is used to quickly discover a single device or a small range of devices. For this process, you generally need two things:
"MID Server": A MID (Management, Instrumentation, and Discovery) Server is a ServiceNow component that resides in your network. It's like a bridge between ServiceNow and your local network. The MID Server performs the actual task of discovery by communicating directly with the target devices.
"Target IP": This is the IP address of the device that you want to discover. Just like you need to know the address of a house you want to visit, you need to know the IP address of a device you want to discover.
The other options are incorrect:
"PID": In the context of ServiceNow and Discovery, PID is usually associated with a process ID on a device. While this information might be collected as part of a detailed discovery process, it's not a requirement for initiating Quick Discovery.
"Discovery Schedule": While setting up a Discovery Schedule is part of a regular, large-scale Discovery process, it's not needed for Quick Discovery. Quick Discovery is meant to be run on-demand, without a need for a schedule.
