Configuring Discovery for SDN and SD-WAN

NetMRI allows you to collect and manage data from SDN and SD-WAN environments. Currently, you can discover Cisco ACI, Cisco Meraki, Cisco Viptela, and Juniper Mist.
To do so, click the Settings icon, go to Setup > Discovery Settings > SDN, and specify the following:

• New: Add a new Cisco APIC, Cisco Meraki, Cisco Viptela, or Juniper Mist configuration. For details, see the following sections:
  • Adding and Configuring Cisco ACI Discovery
  • Adding and Configuring Cisco Meraki Discovery
  • Adding and Configuring Cisco Viptela Discovery
  • Adding and Configuring Juniper Mist Discovery
• Edit: Modify information about a selected configuration.
• Delete: Remove a selected configuration from the list.
• Import: Import a CSV file that contains data for all configured SDN types. For syntax, see Discovery Settings Import Formats.
• Show/Hide Credentials: Show or hide the user name and password credentials you have configured.
• Discover Now: Start the discovery process immediately for a selected configuration.
• (For Operations Center only) Filter by Collector: Filter the added SDN configurations by Collectors that perform SDN discovery. Collector filter also displays respective device limits and licensing limits.

You can also define general SDN and SD-WAN settings as described in Configuring SDN and SD-WAN Polling Settings.

After running SDN and SD-WAN discovery, you can see the results in Network Explorer > Discovery. For more information, see Viewing and Managing Discovery Results.
