How many devices are on your network right now? The usual answer is “check the spreadsheet”, and nobody is quite sure which copy is current. That's awkward during an outage and worse during an audit, or on the day a vendor advisory asks which switches run a vulnerable firmware build. Network inventory management retires that spreadsheet.
