Resources
Discover allows you to obtain a breakdown of the infrastructure resources consumed and collects the following data
Equipments
Identification of network equipment through sysDescr, evaluating and classifying the types of equipment on the network: routers, switches, controllers, APs, telephones, printers, servers and workstations. For each network element, obtain correlated data and aggregate data for the topology survey.
Requirements
The following requirements must be configured on the target network before Discover can be applied
Access
Access through a list of users/passwords/IP, or use of a single authorized account to execute all equipment query commands
Manageable Equipment
Network equipment must be managed to obtain topology data and/or interconnection documentation. If unmanaged concentrator equipment is used (e.g. switches), the topology will identify all connected equipment as being an undefined cloud
Community
Community SNMP for configured reading
SSH
SSH released for access to network equipment and limited Linux machines for querying resources used
Windows
For Windows machines, the availability of a Microsoft SNMP agent and “read-only” community query release is essential.
CDP and LLDP
The use of CDP and LLDP is highly recommended. Through the use of CDP and LLDP in network equipment, the determination of uplinks, ports and topology is very precise. CDP is available on all Cisco equipment and also on equipment from Meraki, HP, Aruba, Palo Alto, etc. LLDP is used by Dell, Juniper, CheckPoint, etc. equipment. Both protocols run exclusively on network infrastructure equipment.
Firewall
List of networks to be evaluated in Discover and the starting point for scanning. Due to the use of firewalls or carrier networks, “discover” may not be able to go beyond the perimeter boundaries. Therefore, each network will be evaluated individually.
On the Fly
The software runs on a single Linux virtual server and data is stored in a database. The database maintains the entire execution history and can be consulted to evaluate changes and possible equipment insertions.
The entire operating interface is carried out through a “browser” where the information for executing and viewing reports and diagrams is configured.
