NetMRI allows you to collect and manage data from SDN and SD-WAN environments. Currently, you can discover Cisco ACI, Cisco Meraki, and Cisco Viptela.
To do so, go to the Settings icon > Setup > Discovery Settings > SDN. You can do the following on this tab:
- New: Add a new Cisco APIC, Cisco Meraki, or Cisco Viptela configuration. See the corresponding sections:
- Edit: Modify information about a selected configuration.
- Delete: Remove a selected configuration from the list.
- Import: Import a CSV file containing Cisco ACI or Cisco Meraki information. For information about syntax formats, see Discovery Settings Import Formats.
- Show/Hide Credentials: Display or hide the user name and password credentials of added configurations.
- 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 Running Network Discovery#Configuring SDN and SD-WAN Polling Settings.
After executing SDN and SD-WAN discovery, you can see the results in Network Explorer > Discovery. For more information, see Running Network Discovery#Viewing and Managing Discovery Results.
