Improved Switch Port Discovery with v5.5.6

Modified on: Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 4:09 PM

v5.5.6 contains a number of improvements for better switch port discovery as summarized below:

Sometimes a switch port is found in one auto-discover and then, at a later time, is no longer found by auto-discover. You can now choose to delete from Device42 the switch ports that are not found in auto-discovery for network devices.
The Search bar on the home page and the search icon on the menu bar now include results for switch port names and descriptions.
Bug fix - Previously, if the switch port description was updated, it was not being stored correctly. This has been fixed in this release.
