This release includes the following new features:
Updated user interface
This UI for Network Discovery has been completely redesigned while maintaining alignment with the Cloud Discovery & Visibility adaptive app. Features are organized into separate pages, which you can switch between at any time. In the new UI, you can:
Use the Settings page to configure settings that enable you to complete installation and setup.
- Use the Devices page to manage devices. You can add, discover, update, and delete devices. In addition, you can view the logs for individual devices, change the log level as needed, and download the logs as a separate file to your local system.Note: Address Manager represents routers and switches as devices.
Use the IPv4/IPv6 Reconciliation Policies pages to manage IPv4/IPv6 policies, respectively. You can add, edit, and delete policies, activate or deactivate individual policies, schedule to run a policy at the current time or later, and view the historical status of active policies (including reports on successfully created IP networks, linked IP addresses, and IP network discovery status). In addition, you can view the logs for individual policies, change the log level as needed, and download the logs as a separate file to your local system.
- Use the Logs page to view the latest management logs and logs for a specific probe. You can also change the log level as needed, and download the logs as a separate file to your local system.
