Automatic WAN Link 3Com Network Director provides basic automated support for Discovery discovering and displaying the WAN interfaces on your routers. This

support is part of the normal Network Discovery process, and requires no additional configuration beyond that normally needed to discover a device.

When 3Com Network Director discovers a router in your network it determines which, if any, of the active interfaces on the router are WAN interfaces. The supported interface types are listed in “Supported WAN Interface Types” on page 748. 3Com Network Director then creates links from each of these interfaces to a single Default WAN cloud in the map, as shown below:

3Com Network Director does not perform any topology analysis on the WAN segments of your network. If you want to display the correct WAN topology in your map then you can do this by manually modifying the topology. See “Manual Layout of WAN Topology” on page 688 for details of how to achieve this.
