SmartMIB Small Solution:

Discovering Network-Wide Links

(SM-SmallSol0039)

Solution Introduction & Overview:

This small management solution provides an application that learns and then builds all detected network links independent of those links types.

This small management solution addresses the issue of baselining the topology of the network to enable the administrators to gauge and monitor the topology itself avoiding the duplications and repetitions of management loads and effort which is critical to achieving optimal network operations.

The solution presentation is based on the Cisco System’s Proprietary Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) MIB which includes the objects necessary to maintain the interfaces link database information.

This small management solution focuses on managing ONLY those interfaces that are CDP Protocol enabled as is set by the network administrator on the managed network devices. The solution defines a set of modules that reads the CDP MIB  Cache table of the managed elements.

The user can then view the Network-Wide detected Links as below:
