NetXMS Support Forum

I have several router/switch type appliances that netxms cannot get topology info. SNMP is enabled and working on these devices. Nextms can see their interfaces but it says "Failed to get switch forwarding database".  Most are linux based but I cannot install the netxms agent on them because they are locked down by the vendor.  Do you know of a way enable netxms to see the topology?  maybe create a special driver for them?  These problem devices are:

Astaro/Sophos ASG220 firewall (UTM 9)
Cipafilter (cipafilter.com) - ubuntu based webfilter
Meru wireless controller - MC1500
Netgear WG302 wireless access point

Thanks

Hi!

Drivers could help if topology information is available from devices, but not via standard MIBs. If you can check that switch forwarding database is available via some device specific MIBs than it will be possible to create a driver.

one of the vendors is asking if there is a specific snmp oid netxms is looking for the forwarding database in?

Hi!

NetXMS server can use dot1qTpFdbTable (.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2) from Q-BRIDGE-MIB or dot1dTpFdbTable (.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3) from BRIDGE-MIB.

Best regards,
