172.x.x.x is not a reachable host (no response to target ports scanned by MID).

Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue within the context of ServiceNow:
MID Server Status:
- Check the status of the MID Server in ServiceNow. Ensure that the MID Server associated with the discovery is up and running.
- Verify that the MID Server has the correct credentials and permissions to access and scan devices on the network.
Firewall and Network Configuration:
- Ensure that there are no firewall issues preventing communication between the MID Server and the target host.
- Verify that the network configuration allows traffic between the MID Server and the devices in the 172.x.x.x range.
Discovery Configuration:
- Review the discovery configuration in ServiceNow. Confirm that the discovery job is set up correctly, and the target IP addresses and ports are specified accurately.
Device Accessibility:
- Manually check the accessibility of the target host with the IP address 172.x.x.x. Ensure that the host is reachable from the MID Server.
Logs and Diagnostics:
- Check the MID Server logs for any error messages or clues about the failure. Logs can provide valuable information about what went wrong during the discovery process.
