Take an aggregation device as an example, it is down-connected to dozens of devices, all of which have LLDP and SNMP working normal and have added nodes in netxms, but regardless of the peer node column in the NIC list or in the network topology, only part of peer nodes can be found, and the debug log shows: ProcessLLDPConnectionEntry( :SNMP get failed for remote ID D494E8582820). Your help is urgently needed, thank you very much!

I compared the nodes with normal and abnormal LLDP discovery and found that the difference is whether the VLAN list can be obtained during topology discovery. To test, I installed a new netxms, added only test node, and set the value of custom attribute " snmp.driver " to "H3C". Although SNMP can get vlan information normally through either public OID or private OID of H3C, the topology discovery still prompts: unable to get vlan list, and there is no more information in the debug 5 log.
Very eager for your help, thank you!
I tried different versions from 4.2.461 to 4.3.2, both windows and debian systems. The result is that 4.2.461 does not have the above problem, 4.3.0-4.3.2 are unable to get the complete peer node list.
Hi!
It could be related to LLDPv2 MIB support that we have added in 4.3. Could you please check if device responds to OID .1.3.111.2.802.1.1.13.1.3.2.0? If yes, could you provide result of SNMP walk on .1.3.111.2.802.1.1.13.1.4.1.1 and .1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1?
Best regards,
Victor
Thank you very much for your reply!
I'm on a business trip and can't import the list, but I had a colleague try and the SNMP walk results for .1.3.111.2.802.1.1.13.1.4.1.1 and .1.0.8802.1.1.1.2.1.4.1.1 seems containing all the neighbor information, just some information that shows up as garbled. The current codepage setting of snmp is CP936 (Chinese), could this problem be related to the codepage setting?

Thank you very much for developing such an excellent network management software, could you please help to optimize the new version of LLDP protocol support, thank you very much!
Yes, it actually could be related to codepage. Depending on entry type, NetXMS server may require to search for peers using texts (interface descriptions for example), and if it is received incorrectly search will fail. To be able to diagnose it I likely will need exact walk outputs though. We can move discussion to private messages or Telegram if you don't like to share such data publicly.

I don't want to hijack a thread, but for example, Cisco C9200L-24P-4X switch peer discovery doesn't work 100%. Only other Cisco switches are discovered, but no other device directly connected to the switch. It broke with a newer version of NetXms, but I don't remember which version exactly.

No, actually none of this information is considered private, it just seems like too much. Thank you very much for your reply, I've uploaded the relevant attachments, so please take the trouble to guide me, thank you very much!

Currently the server configuration file netxmsd.conf as well as snmp.codepage and syslog.codepage are CP936, except that previously under version 4.2.461, the same configuration did not have this problem.
Hi,
I've found a bug introduced in 4.3 which may cause incorrect decoding of strings received via SNMP (SNMP codepage was ignored in some cases). Fix will be included into upcoming patch release 4.3.6.

I'm very excited to try the just released version 4.3.6, but the network device still can't seem to discover all neighboring devices ...... I uploaded the latest walk result of SNMP, please help me to see it, thank you very much!
Could you also provide server log file with debug level 6 for the duration of topology poll on that switch (i.e. set debug level to 6, go to Poll -> Topology on the switch node, set debug back)?
Hi,
I was able to reproduce and fix this issue (yet another bug in LLDPv2 MIB handling). Fix will be included into next patch release (we likely will publish it this week).
Best regards,
Victor
Thanks very much！

Thank you so much for your great help! I tried the latest version 4.3.7 today and the problem with lldp v2 still seems to exist, please help me with the attached logs, much appreciated! Or is it possible to force the use of lldp v1 version? Looking forward to your reply!

Since under 4.2.* version, all peer nodes can be discovered normally, and the topology is shown completely (more than 30 nodes), but after 4.3 version can only discover part of the nodes (about 7 nodes), and as the time becomes longer, only two nodes are left at last, is it possible to turn off the LLDP V2, and revert back to the recognition mechanism of 4.2.* version, or there is any way to solve the problem. Thank you very much!
I have made some changes in reading LLDP information in upcoming release 4.4.1. FIrst of all there were few bugs left in reading LLDP-V2 MIB. Also, now server will use both LLDP-MIB and LLDP-V2-MIB if supported by device, and LLDP-MIB takes precedence. This should solve discovery issues.

Victor

We've updated to version 4.4.1 and it looks like H3C's Neighborhood Discovery feature should be working fine, fantastic, thanks so much!
