Manual topology mapping

After years of suffering with the horrific (and broken) topology mapping, how about just giving us the ability to create our own dependencies/maps, similar to The Dude or MangeEngine's OpManager?

My understanding is that we support building maps out based on LLDP and CDP data. I’ve asked the TopologySource SME to confirm. We actually can get a lot more when these protocols are enabled. Often, users will disable them for security reasons.

@Jordan-Eil the current version of Manual Mapping will not do anything to assign an ERI to a device or instance that doesn’t already have one. We did discuss this but didn’t have a solution and didn’t want it to block other progress on manual mapping. You can still set an ERI manually via the property system, or automatically through Active Discovery or a PropertySource.

Were there other issues you were referring to that were introduced in 187?
