pyats-topology

Automate network topology discovery by leveraging PyATS to collect CDP and LLDP neighbor data across devices. This process builds a comprehensive physical network map, eliminating manual diagramming and ensuring documentation accuracy.

Yes, you can reconcile discovered network topology with NetBox. This Skill compares collected device connectivity data against your NetBox source-of-truth to identify undocumented or missing links in your network documentation.

Mapping network connectivity is best achieved by collecting ARP and routing protocol neighbor information like OSPF and BGP. This captures logical topology details including IP addresses and subnets to generate accurate network diagrams.

Yes, PyATS and Python 3 are required dependencies for executing network topology mapping. You must also configure environment variables like PYATS_TESTBED_PATH to define your device testbed before running discovery.

Automated discovery for network visualization ensures documentation accuracy by dynamically gathering CDP and LLDP data. It drastically reduces the learning curve for new engineers by providing up-to-date network diagrams over manual diagramming.
