Read the first 6 Network Discovery and Mapping flashcards as text

  1. What protocol does Auvik primarily use for network device discovery?

    Answer: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) along with other protocols like SSH and WMI

    Auvik uses SNMP as its primary discovery protocol, supplemented by SSH, WMI, and other protocols to build comprehensive network maps.

  2. How does Auvik generate network topology maps?

    Answer: Automatically by discovering devices, connections, and relationships through protocol queries

    Auvik automatically generates topology maps by querying discovered devices for neighbor information, interface connections, and routing data.

  3. What is Layer 2 topology mapping in Auvik?

    Answer: Mapping physical connections and switch port relationships at the data link layer

    Layer 2 topology mapping shows physical connections between devices, switch port assignments, and VLAN memberships at the data link layer.

  4. How does Auvik handle network changes in its topology maps?

    Answer: Automatically detects and reflects changes through continuous monitoring and periodic rediscovery

    Auvik continuously monitors the network and automatically updates topology maps when devices, connections, or configurations change.

  5. What information does Auvik collect during device discovery?

    Answer: Device type, model, firmware, interfaces, configuration, neighbors, and performance metrics

    During discovery, Auvik collects comprehensive device information including type, model, firmware version, interface details, neighbor relationships, and performance data.

  6. What is the purpose of the Auvik collector?

    Answer: A virtual appliance or software agent deployed on-site to discover and monitor local network devices

    The Auvik collector is deployed on the local network to perform device discovery, monitoring, and data collection, sending information to the Auvik cloud platform.
