Announcing a new UI with Discovery v21.x
Netformx DesignXpert 21.0.0.x includes the GA release of the completely redesigned Netformx Discovery experience v21.x, including an updated User Interface (UI) and Engine. This version is also included in Netformx DesignXpert.
The v21.x Discovery UI delivers a simplified and streamlined configuration experience. The new UI contains fewer input fields for you to define for a Discovery walk. The updated engine introduces two Discovery enhancements; support for Meraki devices and Command Line Interface (CLI) interrogation to uncover equipment details from Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Dell, VMware, & 3Com/H3C.
Netformx enables presales, systems, and design engineers to quickly and accurately identify and audit networking assets. Netformx Discovery exposes the network topology using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), SSH & Telnet, Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), along with Command Line Interface (CLI-Inspection) based equipment and configuration data to interrogate and expose node details. It can capture a baseline of existing equipment with detailed specs for each device. Used in conjunction with the Cisco Smart Advisor (CSA) formerly known as the Cisco Discovery Service (CDS), the DesignXpert Discovery Report outputs can assist during the analysis phase by identifying device EoX milestone events (End of Life, End of Support, etc.), IOS versions, Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRTs), Field Notices, and resources and gaps in the discovered network.
The Legacy Discovery UI and Engine are now End-of-Life
Please note that the legacy Netformx Discovery engine is now End-of-Life (EOL). Users can no longer perform a Discovery network walk with the legacy Engine nor work with the Legacy UI. However, users can import a legacy-based .ndr Discovery run into new DesignXpert Projects and view the Discovery details via the new v21.x UI.
For full details on the new Netformx Discovery v21.x please see the Netformx Step-by-Step User Guide.
