How do I prevent Discovery from using SSH for Firewalls?

[Doug5]

I need to prevent Discovery from trying to login to Firewalls using SSH - because it creates annoying errors in the logs on the Firewalls.

I tried using a Behavior in a new Discovery Schedule just for Firewalls - which worked - but then I need to edit all the existing Discovery Schedules (and there are hundreds) to exclude the IP-Addresses of the Firewalls.  I can't use a Global Exclusion because then my new Discovery Schedule does not work.  

Any thoughts?

Hi @Doug5 ,

You can ask network Administrator team to disable the Port 22 for Network or Firewall Devices on Network Firewall , in this case you not required to change anything at your end.
