NetMRI allows you to collect and manage data from SDN and SD-WAN environments. Currently, you can discover Cisco ACI, Cisco Meraki, and Cisco Viptela.

To do so, go to the **Settings** icon > **Setup** > **Discovery Settings** > **SDN**. You can do the following on this tab:

- **New**: Add a new Cisco APIC, Cisco Meraki, or Cisco Viptela configuration. See the corresponding sections:
  - [*<u>Adding and Configuring Cisco ACI Discovery</u>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42272325)
  - [*<u>Adding and Configuring Cisco Meraki Discovery</u>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42010075)
  - [*<u>Adding and Configuring Cisco Viptela Discovery</u>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42173751)
- **Edit**: Modify information about a selected configuration.
- **Delete**: Remove a selected configuration from the list.
- **Import**: Import a CSV file containing Cisco ACI or Cisco Meraki information. For information about syntax formats, see *<span style="color: #0000ff">[<u>Discovery Settings</u>](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42402091)</span>*<span style="color: #0000ff">[<u> </u>](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42402091)</span>*<span style="color: #0000ff">[<u>Import</u>](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42402091)</span>*<span style="color: #0000ff">[<u> </u>](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42402091)</span>*<span style="color: #0000ff">[<u>Formats</u>](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42402091)</span>*.
- **Show/Hide Credentials**: Display or hide the user name and password credentials of added configurations.
- **Discover Now**: Start the discovery process immediately for a selected configuration.
- (*For* *Operations* *Center* *only*) **Filter by Collector**: Filter the added SDN configurations by Collectors that perform SDN discovery. Collector filter also displays respective device limits and licensing limits.

You can also define general SDN and SD-WAN settings as described in [*<u>Configuring SDN and SD-WAN Polling Settings</u>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42108080).

After executing SDN and SD-WAN discovery, you can see the results in **Network Explorer**** **> **Discovery**. For more information, see [*Viewing and Managing Discovery Results*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NetMRIAdminG752/pages/42009617).
