I have my existing Netdisco server setup and running strong on our Core network of about 400 switches.

Hi Ken,

All you need to do is start discovery from one device in each location. I've got six  sites with an L3VPN between them - the crontab on the Netdisco box starts discovery for each different location on different days of the week.

0 14 * * 1 netdisco /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco -b -r capetown-router
0 14 * * 2 netdisco /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco -b -r mascot-router
0 14 * * 3 netdisco /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco -b -r perth-router
0 14 * * 4 netdisco /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco -b -r melbourne-router
0 14 * * 5 netdisco /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco -b -r ultimo-router
0 14 * * 6 netdisco /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco -b -r auckland-router

Once discovery is complete, the regular hourly polls just work.

Rgds,
