LLDP and Topology not working

samuelet · October 26, 2021, 11:18:08 AM

Hi all,
We have issues regarding lldp and topology. Many switches have no links in the topology maps (displayed like isolated).
Don't know if it's related, but "tool->lldp info" on some switches displays strange chars instead of the "chassis id". it seems related to juniper neighbours.
is there any advice to resolve this?

Hi!

What NetXMS version you are running? There were recent fixes in LLDP code (in version 3.9.229).

Best regards,
Victor

samuelet · October 28, 2021, 10:10:00 AM

We are running version:
netxms-server:amd64 3.9.298-1

In older versions (i think before this fix https://github.com/netxms/netxms/commit/a53bd11c35c080f8ed5b634c128d4a6fa2865011), switches had links in the topology map, but they were incorrect (wrong neighbours or lacks some additional link), with latest versions, many switches are displayed with no links.
At first look the bug seems related to conncections between juniper switches and other vendors (we have mainly Juniper Cisco HP Dell ) but we did not investigate it.

Issues are not resolved with the last version 3.9.334
