Hi. I am not sure why, but NetXMS does not seem to be able to use Mikrotik CDP/LLDP implementation. The only details it gets from L2 networks are interfaces that are connected to a Bridge, however not all interfaces are always in a bridge and therefore NetXMS cannot reliably build l2 topology. Is there something special I must do to make this work? This is on Wireless Routerboards as well as switches (although the switches are less of an issue as everything is in a bridge then)

Mikrotik LLDP implementation is not entirely correct, sometimes it reports bridge interface instead of actual port. This was discussed recently in another topic. I have some ideas how to deal with it, will try to implement in next few releases.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

According to Mikrotik WIKI from 6.44 LLDP should run on slave interfaces (instead of the "master" port) which should hopefully fix the issue? I tried upgrading to 6.44.3 however NetXMS still does not recognise isCDP or isLDP

Hi.

I just wanted to find out if there has been any progress on this yet?
