Section 2 - Overview Overview Insight D-link Insight is a system that helps keep inventory of devices on your network and maintain a centralized location for switch configuration backups. Insight Plus D-Link Insight Plus offers all the same features as D-Link Insight, but also includes computer heath reporting. This allows network administrators to see if there are computers with out of date Operating Systems, missing or out of date anti-virus software, disabled firewalls, and other potential security concerns. How Insight Plus Works (NAP) D-Link Insight Plus gathers information from attached computers through the use of Network Access Protection (NAP). NAP is a Microsoft technology that allows computers to send health updates to centralized servers via DHCP. With D-Link Insight Plus, the Insight enabled switch acts as the NAP server. As computers send DHCP information to and from your DHCP server, the switch will listen for the NAP traffic and send status updates to the D-Link Insight servers via a secure SSL connection.
