Can agents on remote networks do LLDP/CDP/IP discovery?

Old forum posts show that remote network discovery was not available through agents. Has it been implemented yet?
We are an ISP with some managed networks but sometimes we take over an existing network and havn't reallocated IP's, hence we have overlapping IP ranges and sometimes they aren't reachable at all by our core. We can install a small device or VM in their network to provide agent reporting and monitoring, but we would ideally like to be able to map the network, at the very least see what device is connected to what port.
We can add devices manually but i'd ideally like for LLDP/CDP to work, as well as IP scanning if it has been implemented. Is this currently supported? Or any ETA as to when it will be?

Hi,

Passive Network Discovery works via agent. So if the network you're trying to discover has managed switches with LLDP/CDP and no unmanaged devices in the mix, it should provide some results.
Ensure to set the correct zone ID in the proxy agent's configuration.
Active Discovery via agent still does not work (for all I know).

Cheers
