An inventory that is always out of date
Scheduled discovery finds new devices, so your inventory no longer depends on hand-maintained spreadsheets.
LLDP/CDP, geographic maps
Network discovery, topology and geographic maps
The discovery engine scans IP ranges and finds reachable devices, their vendors, interfaces and the links between them. Add results to the inventory in one click, draw the topology, and follow your devices, flow exporters and links on a map with their live status.
Problems it solves
What this module brings to your team
A physical picture of the network
Topology from LLDP/CDP neighbours, including buildings and cabinets.
Many sites, one view
Branches and data centres on a map; an unreachable site stands out in red.
Capabilities
What Discovery, Topology & Maps can do
Quick discovery
Quickly finds reachable IP addresses and host names on a network.
Topology discovery
Discovers devices over SNMP together with their LLDP/CDP links and draws the topology.
Vendor discovery
Collects IP, MAC, vendor and open-port information.
Interface discovery
Scans interfaces, MAC and IP counts of devices already in the inventory.
SNMP profiles
Multiple SNMP profiles are tried in order during discovery; each device is added with the first profile that answers.
Topology editor
Draw buildings, cabinets and inventory devices with their links, and watch them with live status and traffic.
Geographic maps
OpenStreetMap-based map of devices and flow exporters, with clustering, drag-to-place and bulk location settings.
Link maps
Draw interface links on the map and click through to link and device details.
