Using
ARP
(Address Resolution Protocol) and forwarding table information in
devices, D-View creates a topology for a specific network. The following steps
describe the principle behind the
Topology Generator:
1.
Discovers the devices by getting the ARP information in devices, and
identifies the relationship among devices by their MAC or IP address.
2.
Identifies the device type.
3.
Retrieves the forwarding table information in switches to obtain the
relationship among switch ports and MAC address of the devices.
4.
Creates a Topology.
The generated Topology can be incorrect if the switches’ forwarding table
information is incorrect or incomplete. The Topology created by Topology
Generator can be considered as a reference in completing the actual topology map.
