Overview
This section describes how to design your network and create discovery profiles to identify and prepare devices for LAN automation.
The design phase is the second step in the LAN automation process. It involves these steps:
-
Design and build global sites.
-
Configure the global and local network services.
-
Configure global device credentials.
-
Design the global IP address pool, and assign the LAN automation pool for the required site from the global pool.
Device discovery is the third step in building the underlay network. It scans the devices within a network and sends the list of discovered devices to the inventory.
Review the underlay configuration of the seed device before creating and running a discovery profile.
