Network Topology
A live, accurate map of your entire infrastructure, built automatically from LLDP and CDP data. No manual drawing. No stale diagrams. Just your network as it actually is, updated in real time.
- ✓Auto-generated from LLDP/CDP, no manual input
- ✓Physical and logical topology views
- ✓Real-time link status (up/down)
- ✓Click any node to open its full CMDB record
- ✓Multi-site & RBAC-scoped views
- ✓Export as PNG/SVG for documentation
- ✓Reorganize layout and annotate with notes, shapes, and drawings
Simple to Read. Modular by Design.
The topology view is built into the platform, not bolted on. It shares the same data as your CMDB, compliance engine, and backup module, so everything stays in sync automatically.
Zero Configuration
The map builds itself. ConnectMyAssets reads LLDP/CDP neighbor tables and assembles the full topology graph, no manual drawing, no Visio files to maintain.
Port-Level Accuracy
Every link shows the exact source and destination ports. Know which cable goes where, down to the interface name, without touching a single device.
Live Status
Link state updates in real time. A link going down shows immediately on the map, no refresh, no polling interval to tune.
Contextual Drill-Down
Click any node to jump directly to its CMDB record, running config, compliance score, backup history, and CVEs. Everything is one click away from the map.
Multi-Site, RBAC-Scoped
Each site has its own topology view. Access is scoped by RBAC, operators only see the nodes they are authorized for.
Modular by Design
Topology is a module, not a separate tool. It shares the same device database as the CMDB, compliance engine, and backup, always in sync.
Interactive Editing
Reorganize nodes to match your physical layout, then draw directly on the map: add notes, shapes, and annotations. A key differentiator for teams who need a living diagram, not just an auto-generated one.
What You Can Answer in Seconds
Questions that used to take hours of digging through CLI outputs or stale spreadsheets, answered instantly from the topology map.
Where is VLAN 100 deployed, and where is it missing?
Filter the topology by a specific VLAN and instantly see which switches carry it, which trunk links propagate it, and, critically, which devices should have it but don't. A misconfigured trunk or a missing VLAN on an access port shows up visually, without running a single show command.
- ✓Spot VLAN gaps across your entire switching fabric at a glance
- ✓Detect trunks that should carry a VLAN but don't
- ✓Verify VLAN propagation after a change without touching devices
Impact of a link failure
A trunk goes down. Which devices lose connectivity? Which VLANs are affected? The topology map shows the blast radius instantly, before your users start calling.
Where is this IP reachable from?
Trace the path from an IP address back through access switches, aggregation, and core. Useful for troubleshooting, for security reviews, and for change impact analysis.
Pre-change verification
Before any change, use the topology to validate the current state. After the change, one look confirms the expected result, or flags something unexpected.
Undocumented links
LLDP surfaces connections nobody knew existed, forgotten uplinks, rogue switches, legacy segments. The topology map is often the first time a team sees their real infrastructure.
Security segmentation review
See which devices share the same broadcast domain, which VLANs span multiple sites, and where segmentation boundaries actually are, vs. where they should be.
Audit documentation
Export the topology as PNG or SVG. Attach it to your audit report or change request. An up-to-date diagram in one click, no Visio licence needed.
How It Works
From raw LLDP frames to an interactive live map in three automated steps.
Discover Neighbors
ConnectMyAssets queries LLDP/CDP on every device after initial discovery.
Build the Graph
Neighbor relationships are assembled into a full topology graph automatically.
Navigate Live
The map updates in real time. Hover, click, drill down into any node.
