Hello
I am using PRTG Network Monitor 15.1.14 and the problem I have is that when I use the AutoDiscovery function for cisco switches and routers, defined interface vlans on these devices are also recognized as an physical interface and are added to the list of Device sensors.
I wanted to know if it is possible to exclude those interface vlans from auto-discovery?
I previously read an article about excluding or including sensors in a device template in a post
https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/76000041645-how-can-i-include-and-exclude-sensors-from-device-templates
and I followed the mentioned steps, but I didn't get any results.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks
