Another release, another step closer to documentation nirvana: welcome to netTerrain 9.1. 9.1 marks the second incarnation of the 9.0 series (aka “Europe” as you’ve probably noted in the guide covers that feature striking images from the continent).
With netTerrain 9.1, we worked on the usual run of new features, small fixes, and improvements, with many tickets related to the Collector, including major Layer 2, CDP, & LLDP link discovery improvements.
