smartinst_scan_internal_internal

Explanation

This NDM is designed to detect Cisco SmartInstall scanning inside the customer's network. Cisco SmartInstall is a configuration and image-management feature for switches.

What to Look For

Unauthorized scanning activity launched inside your network may be an indication that your network is compromised. Investigate hosts that are the source of this sort of activity in order to make sure that it is authorized and expected, and the hosts have not been compromised. Authorized scanners should be labeled in Netography Fusion so that scanning events do not trigger for them.
