What is touching the network but missing from inventory?

The decision momentWhen the question becomes urgent

A managed switch sees a neighbor that the inventory cannot explain.

The team can see the gap but lacks a fast, evidence-based starting point for the physical investigation.

A familiar switch reports a neighbor that no inventory record explains. Silhouette traces the outline in managed evidence and points the investigation to the known port.

What changesThe practical result

Turn an unexplained neighbor into a focused port-level investigation.

Use managed-neighbor and forwarding evidence to identify an inventory gap.
Direct the investigation to the managed port that sees the inferred endpoint.

Evidence in viewThe evidence it starts with

Use managed records to narrow an inventory gap.

Uses managed-neighbor and forwarding evidence to identify inventory gaps.
Localizes an inferred device or endpoint to the managed port that sees it.

Open Silhouette in the record.

Open the resulting view, then review the evidence and the next safe action beside it.

The point is to preserve the observed switch port, neighbor, and forwarding context while the endpoint remains unknown. The person investigating can begin at a named physical attachment rather than trying to turn an inference into a device identity.
