How does Discovery choose IP when multiple SNMP IPs exist, and is there an OID to detect management

I’m working with ServiceNow Discovery for network devices using SNMP. In some subnets, the same device responds on multiple IPs (loopback, SVI VLANs, management interface, etc.). I want to understand:

  1. Which IP does Discovery pick as the primary IP (cmdb_ci.ip_address) when multiple IPs are discovered?

  2. Is there a way to modify the Discovery Pattern to identify and set the Management IP instead?

  3. Is there a standard SNMP OID that returns the management IP?
