Enabling the discovery of Cisco Viptela devices provides visibility into your Cisco Viptela infrastructure. This allows you to view and manage discovered IP addresses of Cisco Viptela fabric members such as controllers and fabric switches with their attached end points. You can discover Cisco Viptela on-premise devices as well as cloud devices.

By default, Cisco Viptela discovery collects both connected and offline devices.

To add and configure a Cisco Viptela fabric discovery, complete the following:

  1. To enable SDN and SD-WAN polling, click the Settings icon > Setup > SDN/SD-WAN Polling. For more information, see Configuring SDN and SD-WAN Polling Settings.
  2. Click the Settings icon > Setup > Discovery Settings > SDN.
  3. Click New.

    • Protocol: The default selection is HTTPS.
    • On-premise controller: Check this if your Viptela setup is on-premises.
    • CA Certificate: Specify a Root CA or Intermediate CA certificate to allow communication with the Cisco Viptela vManage controller. Do one of the following:
