Hey All,
We recently purchased NTM and while it provides some quick and dirty troubleshooting functionality for us right now, there are a few things it's lacking preventing us from using it as our sole mapping source. One of which is the ability to add manual devices and connections to those devices for things like our Checkpoint firewalls.
There also seems to be some limitations with the scanning capabilities of the software, in that it doesn't always draw all of our links between devices. Mainly we see this on some of our L3 connections.
Does anyone have any information on when or even if some of these enhanced features will be implemented?
It might also be helpful if someone could link to exactly HOW the software performs network scans (i.e. does it utilize CDP, the routing table, difference between 0 and 1 hop, etc.). That might help me understand why some of my links aren't being drawn automatically.
Thanks in advance!
