Cisco switch doesent show all peers under interface

[Egert143]

Hello

What could cause this: I have Cisco C2960x-24TS-LL switch, snmp polling is enabled. But in interface tab only other Cisco switches are found (using CDP) and Mikrotik router (using LLDP). But for example servers/cameras are not discovered. Also Topology -> Switch forwarding database is empty.

NetXMS version: 4.3.3

.1.3.111.2.802.1.1.13.1.3.2.0 empty
.1.3.111.2.802.1.1.13.1.4.1.1 empty
.1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1 contains info and mac addresses

[Egert143]

Hello, is there fix in planning? Cisco switches dont show mac list and connected nodes.

[victor]

Connection information for end nodes that does not support LLDP or CDP is obtained from FDB, so root cause is FDB not being retrieved from the switch.
What driver is selected for the switch? Also, what is walk output for .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1?

Best regards,
Victor

Cisco switch: C9200L-24P-4X (17.3.4b)
Driver: CISCO-GENERIC

NetXMS version 4.3.5

Sorry for delay, just get back to issues that piled up.
Looks like switch returns FDB information, so problem is within server. Can you set debug level 6 for tag "topology.fdb", run topology poll on switch node, and show me server log?

Best regards,
Victor

Thats the output i got. Hope it helps.

Am I understand correctly that this problem is on all Cisco switches? What SNMP version you are using? If you are using version 3, make sure that you have allowed access to vlan-* contexts. Command should be similar to this:

snmp-server group GroupName V3 priv context vlan- match prefix

Best regards,
Victor

[Egert143]

Problem is present on all Cisco switches yes, snmp version is v3. I tested the context snmp command on one switch and now it shows other peer nodes aswell. il have to test other switches toobut i think the solution is found. Thank you for the helpfull tip!
