Network Discovery - Differentiating between various trunk links on a Cisco switch

Question

Hello

I have thousands of switches in my estate mostly configured identically bar the IP subnets information. These model 2960 switches, mostly edge switches have trunk links to distribution switches and trunk links to Extreme access points. The trunk links to the Extreme access points have a description on the switch port that starts "XXX Extreme XXX.

I have set up scheduled discovery and have Trunk selected but I can't work out how to exclude the trunk ports that are labelled "XXX Extreme XXX".

Anyone know if this is possible to do?

Thanks again. The key here was to try the discovery manually rather than automatically adding the results. I was then able to "play" with the settings such as "does not match all keywords" which worked for me.

Thanks, makes sense. I'll give it a go in the morning with "does not contain all keywords" XXX Extreme

Sorry in my haste to reply I selected the Contains rather than Does Not Contain as mention3d by jhandberg​
