[nv-l] NetView and Switch Analyzer

["Scott Hammons" <s.hammons@ais-nms.com>]

Hi listers,

 

Environment:

 

AIX 5.1

NetView 7.1.3

Switch Analyzer 1.2

 

How is NetView and Switch Analyzer supposed to properly display a configuration of a switch on a map?  According to the SA documentation, SA creates a network segment for each port to represent a connection between the port and the devices connected directly to it. 

 

For some reason, NetView discovered the device properly as a switch and shows the one IP connection.  Then the switch shows a connection to 1 segment, however at least 5 ports are being used on the switch.  How do I get this to display properly on the map? 

 

I did conduct a Demand Poll from NetView and it did see all the ports (told me they had no IP addresses).  Then I ran the ovtopodump -X command and got the following (the device is being recognized on the SA side): 

 

Node ID  Object                  IP Status  L2 Status   IP Address       SNMP OID                        Layer 2 OID?
   734   10.249.32.164           Up         Unset       10.249.32.164    1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.287             Yes

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Scott
