TOS Discovery

TOS Discovery allows you identify devices in your network not monitored by TOS and export them into TOS using AKIPS. This will help you receive more accurate topology and streamline automation processes, as well as reduce the time required for topology maintenance. You can choose to automatically export discovered devices, or manually select them. In addition, AKIPS has advanced grouping capabilities, which help make the process more scalable for large network deployments.

Prerequisites

  • TOS and AKIPS must be deployed on separate servers and be able to communicate. For more information, see the relevant initial setup page: SecureTrack+, SecureChange+, Enterprise.

  • Routers in the same group need to share the same SSH credentials, and have the appropriate permissions required by TOS.

  • Devices must share SNMP credentials.

  • All devices are imported into the default domain.

  • Cisco L3 switches are imported as routers.
