Built-in Plugin

The Plugin function aims to correct or fix up the inaccurate data and topology model calculated by the system. A Plugin is essentially a set of Python scripts that can be executed in the system for data acquisition, update, and revision.

Plugin Name

Purpose

Execution Point

Import Config

To add devices and device interfaces to the system.

	Note: This plugin needs further customization during the execution. See Executing the Import Config Plugin for more details.

Before executing a discovery task

Import End System

To add end systems to the system and set path their gateways for path calculation.

	Note: This plugin needs further customization during the execution. See Executing the Import End System Plugin for more details.

Before executing a discovery task

Topology Stitching

To modify the topology links between device interfaces.

This plugin can be added to a benchmark task at the execution point after building L3 topology.

	Note: This plugin needs further customization during the execution. See Executing the Topology Stitching Plugin for more details.

After building L3 topology

Checkpoint Warp Topology Stitching

To establish the IPv4 L3 topology for Checkpoint virtual system and Checkpoint virtual router/virtual switch.

This plugin can be added to a benchmark task at the execution point after building L3 topology.

After building L3 topology

Identify Management Interfaces

To identify the management interface of each device and update the corresponding interface property. This successful execution of this plugin ensures the Exclude Management Interface option in the Map Settings can function well.

Note: Before running this plugin through a benchmark task, make sure that the subnet addresses of management interfaces in your network have been entered correctly as input. Here is a example:

Copy Code

Code

[
"192.168.1.0/24",
"10.10.3.253/22"

After rebuilding Visual Space

Separate ASA Firewall Failover Interfaces into Different Zones

To add failover interfaces of ASA Firewalls with the same IP addresses to different zones so that the failover interfaces can participate in L3 topology calculation.

This plugin can be added to a benchmark task at the execution point before building the network’s L3 topology.

Before building L3 topology

Separate Checkpoint Firewall Sync Interfaces into Different Zones

To add the sync interfaces of Checkpoint firewalls with the same IP addresses to different zones so that the sync interfaces can participate in L3 topology calculation.

This plugin can be added to a benchmark task at the execution point before building the network’s L3 topology.

Before building L3 topology

SRX_Remove_Superfluous_Interfaces

To customize the L2 topology to connect neighbor interfaces with SRX firewalls that are configured as a chassis cluster.

This plugin can be added to a benchmark task at the execution point after building L3 topology.
