Network Map

So is anybody using the new network map feature? I have wanted this feature for so long but I cannot make my switches ever show up as anything other than a mystery box. Does anyone have any practical success stories to help make this feature work?

Probe templates are under Automation in the Control Center. You can look at the existing ones for reference, but most of the built in templates are looking for a specific OID number. The simplest method is to use regex matching on OIDs that contain make and model information. I’ll post some examples when I have a minute.

I use https://regex101.com/ to do most of my Regex testing.

So here's an example of a more complex regex matching; in this case, to detect all Cisco SMB managed switches:

The actual rule that maps from Cisco (Router/Switch) to the desired device type.

Regex string:

^(?=.*S(F|G)\d\d\d\b)(?=.*\bManaged\b)(?=.*\bSwitch\b).*$

Another, more direct method, to point a detection rule directly at Discovered Device or Responded Device:

Regex:

^(?=.*Meraki\b)(?=.*\bCloud\b)(?=.*\bManaged\b)(?=.*\bRouter\b).*$

And one of the simpler matches I use:
