How IP Connection relationship type of IP Switch and Servers were created?

[sutanghoon]

We did a discovery for CIs in a particular network. In IP Switch, there is an IP Connection::IP Connection to Servers as shown in the picture (in dependency map). I've checked the patterns for the network switch, and the servers involved but I couldn't find anything about 'create relation/reference' between the CIs. May I know how this was created or where in discovery this was created?

Hi,

This is done for Layer 3 switches and it's controlled by a property: glide.discovery.L3_mapping

After discovery is done a event, discovery.device.comple, is triggered and the script action Discovery - map device to netgears is executed.

Regards,
Niklas

Enaabling Layer 2 discovery: Edit or create the system property sa.create_physical_connections.active and set the value to True.

Enable Layer 3 discovery: Edit or create the system property glide.discovery.L3_mapping and set it to True.
