 Network devices aren't managed as standard endpoints since Defender for Endpoint doesn't have a sensor built into the network devices themselves. These types of devices require an agentless approach where a remote scan obtains the necessary information from the devices. Depending on the network topology and characteristics, a single device or a few devices onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint performs authenticated scans of network devices using SNMP (read-only).
