Discovering ALL Interfaces on a Firewall

Alec Hanson

Hi,

 

With Firewall Discovery Patterns it seems that the only interfaces that will be created are Network Adapter with IP Addresses and that any Layer 2 interfaces where no IP Address exists do not get created.

 

Am I missing something and do these get created somewhere?

 

I can imagine we can amend the Pattern to do this if not, but does anyone have thoughts on the best place for them - would it simply be dscy_switchport?

Thanks,

Alec

Hello @Alec Hanson ,

I am having similar requirement, wherein the Network team is expecting all the network adapters to be discovered which are not having the IP address.

 

Were you able to achieve your requirement?

Appreciate your quick response!

@AmreenS75202193  @Alec Hanson : this could be the reason:

pattern shared library "Discover Common Firewall Attributes", step 1.2.44. Keep only interfaces with ipv4

 

You can try to disable this step and compare the payloads. There could be some side effects with identification rules, watch out for duplicates and CI attribute values flapping.

Thanks @Severin Launiau !! But in my case I am much interested to discover the interfaces for routers which are non-IP based. Is there a way for it?
