Abstract
Some examples provide a system to automatically discover network devices. The system enables a network device discovery protocol with a transmit mode and a receive mode on a network device. The system enables an auxiliary communication protocol on the network device. The system broadcasts the network device discovery protocol records from the network device including local neighbors and connectivity information. The system engine processes topological information using the auxiliary communication protocol and timing cycles to update age of a set of topology information records.
