Bug Description
As of today, there are two non-satisfactory way of finding unrecognized CDP/LLDP neighbors in NAV. There is an SQL report in the report subsystem, and there is the next-hop neighbor map per device in ipdevinfo.
NAV should sport a new interface or tool to report unrecognized neighbors, much like the existing report, but an important new feature is:
* The ability to acknowledge and consequently ignore the existence of an unrecognized device.
One use case is every IP phone in our office, which all report as devices named "snom320". We don't want to add these in NAV, but they become noise in our report, so we want to be able to ignore/acknowledge that they're there, so we don't have to see them in the report any longer.
