Switch Interfaces showing up on multiple VLANS that they are not configured for

I like this system, but the biggest problem is that with my 4506 switch, it shows all interfaces on on all IP ranges in use.

Hi,

could you please describe problem in more details, or maybe show a screenshot?

Best regards,

Here is a screenshot, it shows multiple subnets and the switches are listed multiple times under different subnets.
The interfaces listed under each subnet under the same switch are the same interfaces even though they are not all in the vlans as access ports. In fact the 10.7 network listed is not configured on any ports, yet when I expand the switches tree it shows all of it's ports under the 10.7 network.

This makes no sense and is confusing.

Also I used the Installer for the webgui, but it is not working, even though the jetty webserver is running.

Hi,

can you share screenshot of "Interfaces" tab for the switch shown under 10.7 subnet?

Best regards,
Victor

If you look at my post before my Really? post, you will see I attached requested screenshot before you asked.

When you select switch object, on the right side of the screen you'll get object details view. There is "Interfaces" tab - this is what I was asking for.

Best regards,

ok, here is what you asked for with the latest version 2.0.4

Here is the switch config for the first port.

interface FastEthernet2/1
switchport access vlan 2
speed 100
duplex full
spanning-tree portfast
!

and vlan config

interface Vlan1
ip address 10.2.1.1 255.255.0.0
!
interface Vlan2
ip address 10.3.1.1 255.255.0.0
!
interface Vlan5
ip address 10.5.1.1 255.255.0.0
!

This port should not show up in the graph below as it' has access only to vlan 2 and no voice vlan defined, nor is it a tagged port allowing all vlans.

The screenshot Victor asked for was for the "Interfaces" tab underneath the Object details. Something like the one attached.

Just to confirm your question:
- your switch is in multiple VLANs and networks
- your switch shows under every one of those networks underneath "Entire Network"
- when you expand the switch under any of those networks, it shows all interfaces, every time
- You are expecting that the switch will only list the interfaces which are actually a part of those networks

I guess the answer is that NetXMS does not treat interfaces under Entire Network like that. It only confirms if the node itself is in the network.
When you expand the node, it will list all child objects, e.g. interfaces. There is no filtering applied.

If the above is correct, I suggest submitting a feature request to filter interfaces listed on nodes under Entire Network to only show if the interfaces themselves are a part of the selected network.

Cheers,

Yep that is exactly it with some additions/changes. I have a router in which the WAN Interface is the first one, and it shows in the WAN Network, and the rest of the interfaces which are not in the WAN network. And the same for the LAN Network. Also this is a bug, it is mis-representing what is actually there. I will attach the other screenshot in a moment.

I could not get this via the web interface. I had to use the console, is there a way to get it via the web interface, if not, i will request it as a feature.

I suggest submitting the original issue in the Bug Tracker (https://www.radensolutions.com/chiliproject/projects/netxms).
Not being a developer, I didn't call it a bug as it looks to me like the functionality you are looking for was never implemented (i.e. it's not broken, it's missing).

The "Interfaces" tab exists in the web interface on our installation (see attached screenshot; from a server with a single NIC) and can be reached in the same was as in the console. Not sure why it would not be visible in yours.

I am wondering myself. I used the latest downloads from the downloads for 64 bit windows.
