CompTIA Network+ N10-009 Practice Question

For achieving comprehensive and consistent network device discovery, Scheduled network discovery is the optimal method. It allows for the systematic scanning of the network at planned intervals, helping ensure that the device inventory is always current without undue disruption to network operations. In contrast, Ad hoc network discovery can be sporadic and may miss devices if not timed correctly. While Performance monitoring and Traffic analysis are valuable for ongoing network operations monitoring, they do not systematically identify all connected devices as their primary function isn't focused on device discovery but rather on analyzing performance and traffic patterns.
