nsc.login

# Create a new Discovery Connection object
discovery_connection = Nexpose::DiscoveryConnection.new(
  connection_name,
  log_directory,
  cifs_user,
  cifs_password
)

# Use the Local scan engine for this connection
engine = nsc.engines.find { |engine| engine.name.eql?('Local scan engine') }
discovery_connection.engine_id = engine.id

# Set DHCP settings on the Discovery Connection
discovery_connection.protocol = Nexpose::DiscoveryConnection::Protocol::SERVICE_PROXY
discovery_connection.type = Nexpose::DiscoveryConnection::Type::DHCP_SERVICE

# Save a new DHCP Discovery Connection
discovery_connection.save(nsc)
