Network mapping

The following settings under the Network Mapping section of the data processing configuration page can be used to control how the system collects data using certain protocols or methods:

CDP Exclusion

List of Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) data strings that will be excluded from the system’s default behavior of designating CDP-enabled NID ports as trunks

LLDP Exclusion

List of Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) data strings that will be excluded from the system’s default behavior of designating ports on LLDP-enabled NIDs as trunks

Trust Cisco MAC Notification Trap

If this checkbox is ticked, the system will accept endpoint data in Cisco and Enterasys MAC notification traps without initiating an SNMP poll for bridge MIB information upon receiving the trap (enabled by default)

Verify Cisco MAC Notification Trap

If this checkbox is ticked, the system will verify an endpoint’s location information during subsequent polls after receiving a Cisco or Enterasys MAC notification trap (disabled by default)
