LMS 4.0 device discovery

[Ma'moun Mohammad shanableh]

Hi all,

i am installing a CWLMS 4.0 and everything was good until i have reached the discovery for the devices, i am dealing with a bank setup and the branches is connected using layer 3 MPLS, branches are located behind the ISP router, so as a cdp neighbor i cant see anything but the ISP router  at my Core.

so i cant see the branches routers as neighbors to my (seed Device) Core, and i have tried to use the ping sweep and i could not reach them also.

and also to add them manually as we were doing before in the earlier versions of CWLMS, using the Devices and Credintials, this option is removed from the LMS 4.0 as i have red in a document.

so any ideas about this situation.

what is already done:

1- snmp is configured on all devices.

2- access-list is configured on all devices.

3- i am able to reach the LAN Devices without any problems and the configuration is the same on all of the devices.

thanx in advance

Ping sweep should work provided the devices are ICMP-reachable.  If not, then you might consider something like Route Table as your discovery module.  The ability to add devices manually is certainly still around.  You can do that under Inventory > Device Administration > Add / Import / Manage Devices.
