Collecting Neighbor Data

Use the discovery process to obtain neighbor data from a device using SNMP and a command line interface (CLI).

Neighbor data is used in the topology to draw the connection lines to display the graphical topology map of your network devices. The discover button allows you to select single or multiple devices and update the neighbor data for a device. This information is used to update the connection lines for one or many devices in the topology.

1. On the navigation menu, click Admin to open the admin tab.
2. Click Apps.
3. In the Risk Manager pane, click Configuration Source Management.
4. Click the Devices tab.
5. Select the device for which you want to obtain data. To select multiple devices, hold down the CTRL key and select all necessary devices.
6. Click Discover.
7. Click Yes to continue.

If you select multiple devices, then the discover process can take several minutes to complete.
