# Differentiating agentless and agent-based servers


You can differentiate an agentless vCenter VM that's replicating through snapshot shipping and an agent-based server (from any source infrastructure) through several ways:



1. On the **Source servers** page, under the **Replication type** column, the Application Migration Service console identifies the replication type, whether it is through **Snapshot shipping** (agentless) or **Agent based**. 

1. In the server details view, under the **Migration dashboard**, agentless servers that are replicated through snapshot shipping have an additional **Lifecycle** step – **Not started.**

1. Similarly, in the server details view, under the **Migration dashboard**, the **Data replication status** box shows the **Replication type** as **Snapshot shipping**.
