[nv-l] itsl2_reports output format?

["Karl Prinelle" <Karl.Prinelle@elyzium.co.uk>]

Hi list,

 

nv 7.1.4+fp1, sa 1.2.1, linux rh es 2.1, HP Procurve 2524 with single vlan called VLAN1.

 

I'm doing a little testing with switch analyser & although the brain maybe clogged by hayfever I can't find a document that describes the output from "ITSL2_reports -r layer2 -d".  If anyone can point me to doc's on this that would be great.  Just in case below is the output I'm getting;

 

192.168.1.254/192.168.1.254
    [2/2/0.0.0.0] ===>
        [jaws-w2k/192.168.1.11 - /0/192.168.1.11]

 

    [5/5/0.0.0.0] ===>
        [172.16.1.1/172.16.1.1 - eth1/3/192.168.1.59]
        [192.168.1.1/192.168.1.1 - /0/192.168.1.1] *
        [tiree-w2k3/192.168.1.10 - /0/192.168.1.10]
        [ws01/192.168.1.14 - /0/192.168.1.14] *

 

* This interface has been placed on the layer 2 segment by "default" and
  is not necessarily connected to the specified port.

192.168.1.1 is a router which is connect to an HP Procurve 2524 (192.168.1.254 mgmt ip) on port 24 of the switch

192.168.1.14 is a pc attached to port 13 of the switch

172.16.1.1 & 192.168.1.59 are interfaces on a linux router

172.16.1.202 is the netview server    

The Linux router and netview server are both vmware images running on the host 192.168.1.10

 

A few questions to get me going....;

    192.168.1.254/192.168.1.254    => what is this telling me?  My switch ipaddr is 192.168.1.254 - but why print it twice?

    [2/2/0.0.0.0]    =>  Just plain confused.  This device is in port 2 of my switch, but why print that twice? What's the 0.0.0.0?

    [5/5/0.0.0.0] => is there anything I can do to remove the * from 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.14 which are both real machines plugged into different ports on the switch & get them reporting the correct port numbers?

 

Any help much appreciated
