16:12:21.546 *D* [topology.cdp       ] CDP(sw1 [165174]): remote IP address 192.168.10.5
16:12:21.547 *D* [topology.cdp       ] CDP(sw1 [165174]): node object for remote IP 192.168.10.5 not found


It's found this from the CDP neighbours table, presumably, but there's no hint of this in the UI. It's good information to know about, although could be optional.
Maybe the interface list is not the place for this information, it's already eleventy columns wide and needs another column like I need a hole in the head :D

Currently server just discards information obtained from CDP, LLDP, etc. if it cannot find matching node. I think we can store raw topology data for the nodes as well, and show it in separate view (indicating which of IP/MAC addresses are known nodes of course). I've added it as feature request: https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-2277.

Best regards,
