Network Topology Question

Hi everyone, I have a question about getting a full view of a customer's network topology

1) Sometimes I need to add SD-WAN to a customer's current traditional network.

2) But I found that I first need to understand about the customer's existing network topology, such as what are the devices, and which links they're connected together, then draw it out in draw.io

3) Some customers don't have the network topology diagrams ready, so I usually go in the devices to do CDP, MAC address and ports tracing which take a long time for me.

4) I hope to learn a more efficient way of doing this from you guys.

You're right, I'm still pretty new at this. Thanks for the response.
