The ServiceNow
Discovery application uses the Cisco WAPs extension to find Wireless Access Points (WAPs) that are controlled by a Cisco network switch. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
This extension extends the Network Switch discovery pattern. For more information, see [Network switch and router discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xlJ~H8xUCsH~2DIYlJKcYQ "Discovery identifies and classifies information about network switches and routers.").

Discovery uses the Cisco WAPs extension to run horizontal discovery.
