1. Modify the user settings for NVDCT
Before you create the topology data, take a look at `~/local/bin/nvdct/nvdct.toml`. Here you can fine tune some aspects of the topology creation. Before you do this, please create a copy of the nvdct.toml file (e.g. my_nvdct.toml) and only change the copy. By working with a copy of the `nvdct.toml` file, you ensure that your changes will survive the next update of the `nvdct.mkp`. For the CDP/LLDP topologies add at least your seed devices - from where NVDCT will start to create the topology - in the `SEED_DEVICES` section.

1. Create the topology data
```
~/local/bin/nvdct/nvdct.py -u ~/local/bin/nvdct/my_nvdct.toml
~/local/bin/nvdct/nvdct.py -u ~/local/bin/nvdct/conf/my_nvdct.toml
```
For CMK 2.2.0 you should find the created data under
`~/var/topology_data/`. There should be also a symbolic link to the default topology.
For CMK 2.3.0 you should find the created data under `~/var/check_mk/topology/data`. There should be also a symbolic link to the default topology.
