Hello,
In the past we used the LDAP authentication for netdisco, a very nice thing.
But as far as I know LDAPS is not possible - is there a way to make it
possible?
Second question: Should Netdisco find all other connected switches if I
just do the discovery for the back bone switch? Or how can I achieve that
without do it for every single switch?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Bastian

Yes it unsupported according to the doc:
<https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco/wiki/Configuration#ldap>. I never
looked into it too closely but Net::LDAP does ldaps just fine, so I
imagine it couldn't be too hard to patch in. Most likely nobody wanted
it bad enough to submit a Patch/PR.

Theoretically Netdisco should find your whole network from a single
switch, but in practice that's not always working. If you have chunks of
the network missing you can manually discover some IPs in these chunks.
Alternatively you can also discover whole IP ranges, e.g.
netdisco-do discover --enqueue -d 192.168.7.0/24
or discover a list of ip addresses from your inventory with:
for ip in $(< mylist.txt) ; do netdisco-do discover --enqueue -d $ip ; done
