I think the point is that for the sort of network it's designed to handle, you
only need to discover one device - then NetDisco will automatically find out
about all devices that are connected to it (neighbours). When it knows about
those close neighbours, it will find their neighbours, and so on until it knows
about every device.
This will only break down if you have devices/links that don't support
neighbour discovery. E.g. in my case I have a VPN tunnel between my network
here and one I manage on a customer site - and because I've not
installed/configured everything needed for the endpoints (GNU/Linux) to report
the topology via SNMP it means I've had to manually tell NetDisco about the
link and "seed" the far end by discovering one device there. Similarly, I've
had to manually configure around a couple of switches/firewalls that are either
unmanaged or don't report the required information via SNMP.
For that remote network, it's a nice "clean" Cisco-only network with SNMP
configured and allowed from my monitoring node. So just discovering one device
populated the entire network automagically.
So in a "well engineered" network, the worst case is having to manually
discover one device per site - and manually add the topology links (typically
WAN links/tunnels) to connect sites.

Simon is correct in his reply - usually this isn't necessary. However
if neighbor protocols aren't running, you can now pass an IP prefix to
the same parameter.
https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-Netdisco/bin/netdisco-do
"The -d option will accept a hostname (that can be resolved to an IP
with DNS), an IP address, or IP prefix (subnets in CIDR format)."

oliver.

The procudre finishes but, the system information is stating that we
are still on the old build:
Well there's always the possibility that the CPAN mirrors are
temporarily unavailable.
Failing that, did you successfully see the Perl modules installed via
cpanm at the command line? Did you also restart netdisco-daemon and
netdisco-web?
regards,
oliver.
