ServiceNow Mapping for Network Device
This topic provides information on the ServiceNow mappings for NetworkDevice nodes. The CIs created are described in this topic.
Load balancers are mapped as Network Devices. The mapping is described in ServiceNow-Mapping-for-Load-Balancer-nodes.
NetworkInterface and IPAddress mappings for NetworkDevice are described in ServiceNow-Mapping-for-multiple-device-types.
cmdb_ci_netgear
The root Network Device node is mapped to a root cmdb_ci_netgear CI unless one of the following conditions are met:
Class | Attribute | Condition | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
cmdb_ci_ip_switch | type | regex | Switch |
cmdb_ci_ip_router | type | regex | Router |
A root Network Device node is mapped with the following attributes:
Attribute | Class | Details |
|---|---|---|
key | ALL | Network Device key |
name | ALL | Network Device name |
device_type | ALL | Network Device type |
short_description | ALL | Network Device name |
last_discovered | ALL | Network Device last_update_success |
manufacturer | ALL | Network Device vendor |
model_id | ALL | Network Device model |
serial_number | ALL | Network Device serial |
can_route | cmdb_ci_ip_router | "true" |
can_switch | cmdb_ci_ip_switch | "true" |
stack | cmdb_ci_ip_switch | "true" or null |
ip_address | ALL | Switch, Router, or other network device enumeration value |
Network Device relationships
Relationships are created to represent the connection between edge switches and hosts. Switch-to-switch connections are not mapped.
