After creating your cross-domain network views, check that you see the links between
domains that you expect.
Before you begin
Before checking the links between domains, ensure that you have run a full cross-domain-enabled
discovery twice in each domain.
About this task
If you do not see the links between the domains that you expect, complete the following
steps:
Procedure
-
Ensure that the appropriate agents are enabled for the technologies and devices that are on the
edges of your domains.
-
Ensure that all the appropriate technologies are enabled for the cross-domain stitching.
-
Check that the boundary between domains is appropriate.
It is important to scope your discovery domains to ensure
the minimum of links between domains. For example, you would not normally split
the network such that highly connected switches were in different domains.
Natural splits for domains are often along geographical lines.
Restriction:
However you split your network, you must ensure that any given device appears
in only one domain. That is, the discovery domains must not overlap if you want
to join them together using cross-domain discovery.
-
If you know that links between devices in different domains are present, but they are not shown
in the Network Views, you can add or edit the links manually.
