What kind of ConnectedVia relationships exist in Smarts SAM?



There are 3 types of connections  which can exist as follows:

Switch <------> Switch

Switch <------> Router

Router <-----> Router

The Discovery process is responsible for identifying connection points between devices and populating the topology with cables, trunk cables and network connections and the relationships between these are:

Switch (Port) <--- ConnectedVia/to Trunk Cable ---> Switch (Port)

Switch (Port) <--- ConnectedVia/to Cable ---> Router (Interface)

Router (Interface) <--- ConnectedVia/to NetworkConnection ---> Router (Interface)
