Network Topology

List the links inferred between network devices and override them if necessary.OpenAPI: YAML | JSON

A network’s topology influences the behavior of the network model and how automatic network layout works in the application. The Forward Platform determines what device links to include in its network model using 1) automatic discovery using collected LLDP/CDP information, 2) automatic inference based on the MAC addresses devices have learned, and 3) any user-defined link overrides, which have the highest precedence.

The resources in this section are for listing all of a network’s device links and for listing and defining link overrides. An override is bidirectional and either present (the link exists) or absent (the link doesn’t exist).
