Add a Dynamic Topology Setting

Routing Director captures real-time changes in your network only after you configure dynamic topology. The topology-related data must be up to date if you want to filter out unwanted nodes in your network. You can configure dynamic topology by using the Routing Director GUI.

Note:

You can also configure dynamic topology on the Dynamic Topology tab of the Topology Settings page (Observability > Network > Topology > Topology Menu Bar > Settings icon). For more information, see Topology Settings Options.

To configure dynamic topology:

  1. Click Management > Dynamic Topology > Peer Setting.
    The Peer Setting page appears.
  2. Click the Add (+) icon.
    The Dynamic Topology Setting page appears.
  3. Complete the configuration according to the guidelines in Table 1.
    Note:

    Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
  4. Click Save.

    The Peer Setting page appears displaying the newly added dynamic topology setting. A message is displayed confirming that the dynamic topology setting is saved successfully.
