Devices

Devices can be onboarded into the NCP Controller primarily via SNMP.

To extend inventory capabilities, NCP integrates with external systems such as NetBox, Cisco Nexus Dashboard, Catalyst Center, and others. These integrations serve as inventory sources to populate and manage device data within the platform.

Supported Onboarding Methods

• SNMP (Native): Direct onboarding via SNMP is supported for any SNMP-capable device. You can add devices using YAML or CSV templates for bulk upload.

• Third-party Controllers (via Data Connectors): Devices can also be imported indirectly through integration with:

  • Cisco Nexus Dashboard

  • Catalyst Center

  • NetBox

  • IP Fabric

  • ONES Controller (for SONiC devices)

  • Other supported platforms via API or sFlow

These connectors act as inventory sources; once linked, their device databases sync into the NCP system automatically.
