NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,

Fairly new to NetXMS and running the latest version 3.8.193.  Have been running it since 3.8-ish and am just now digging into some of the layer 2 topology mapping.

We use Mikrotik switches almost exclusively and I've noticed that NetXMS can't seem to find the port a device is connected to on a Mikrotik switch.

For instance, at home I have a simple network configuration:  Mikrotik CCR Router -> ProCurve Switch -> Mikrotik CRS324 switch -> NetXMS Agent PC.

If I right-click on the Agent PC and select "Find switch port", it tells me it is "indirectly connected to Procurve Port 5".

If I right-click on the CRS324 switch and do the same.  It also tells me it is "indirectly connected to Procurve Port 5".

The topology maps also tend to be a bit goofy and I suspect whatever is causing the above, is also causing the mapping issue.

Any idea where I should start looking?  I'm running RouterOS 6.48.1 on all Mikrotik devices, and they all have a bridge configured for switching (with hardware offloading).

Thanks!

Hi,

does Mikrotik switch support LLDP (that should allow NetXMS server to find connection between ProCurve and Mikrotik). DOes NetXMS server see correct FDB on Mikrotik switch? You can check that by right-click on it, and select Topology -> Forwarding database.
What is output f manual topology poll for both ProCurve and Mikrotik?

Best regards,
Victor
