Identify missing routers
The following requests allow you to identify routers in the AFA graphic network map that should be defined as devices in AFA.
For more details, see Manage the map.
Run the Topology Advisor
The execute method runs the Topology Advisor. This tool searches for routers missing from the AFA graphic network map.
The input will be the network's SNMP key, internal networks, external networks, and the maximum number of queries the tool should run. The output is a status message. To retrieve the results, Retrieve suggested routers results.
Note: The execute method may take several minutes to complete, depending on the number of queries.

Request Body Parameters:
|
Element |
Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|
| maxQueriesOptional |
Integer |
The maximum number of paths to query. By default, the maximum number of queries is 400. |
| snmpKeyOptional |
String |
The network's SNMP key. This is used to retrieve the names of the routers. If the DNS lookup fails and the SNMP key is not provided, the results will only provide the router's IP address. |
| internalNetworksOptional |
A list of subnets (CIDR format). |
All of the network's internal subnets. In order to determine the default values for your environment, seeRetrieve Topology Advisor default values. |
| externalNetworksOptional |
A list of subnets (CIDR format). |
All of the external subnets that should be reachable from each of the network's internal subnets. In order to determine the default values for your environment, see Retrieve Topology Advisor default values. |

Retrieve suggested routers results
The missingStubRouters request provides the results of the execute request: a list of routers missing from the graphic network map.
The input will be the page number you want to retrieve. You can optionally filter the result that you want to retrieve by providing the name of a router, the name of the closest device, or a relevant subnet. The output is a list of routers.
Note: You must wait for the execute request to complete before retrieving the missing routers with the missingStubRouters request.

Retrieve Topology Advisor default values
The defaultValues request provides the default values of the Topology Advisor parameters for the specific AFA environment.
By default, the maximum number of paths that will be simulated (queries that will be run) is 400. The default external networks used in the calculation is 8.8.8.8. If a custom risk profile spreadsheet is being used in AFA, the networks in the spreadsheet are used as the default internal networks. If no such spreadsheet is being used, RFC 1918 is used to provide the default internal networks.
