In certain regions of our network, we are not allowed to enable discovery protocols (such as CDP or LLDP) and Netbrain isn’t effective at discovering layer 2 neighborships in these cases. Is there a way that I can manually teach Netbrain of layer 2 neighborships when it cannot figure them out on its own?
Question
How do you get Netbrain to see a layer 2 neighbor when it isn't automatically discovering it?
Hi
Yes, you can stitch the topologies from Domain Management>Data Accuracy Resolution>Topology LInk Manager, cilck the number, then you can add the link. Please refer to the snapshot below:
Thanks,

What about a case where it’s a back to back VPC? My scenario looks like this…
All of the red lines are missing. For some reason, ½ of the back-to-back VPC is seen between the 2 7Ks at the top and the 2 9Ks in the middle (where you see the “LAG” and orange lines) but the other side is missing. Then all of the back-to-back VPCs between the middle 9Ks and the ACI leaf switches at the bottom are missing. Is that a way to handle that in the “Data Accuracy Resolution” section?
sdavid,
Unfortunatelly, i don’t have a similar lab to have a test. I created a case for you. Our engineer will reach out to your email shortly.
