switch port search for down node
-
Hello
Maybe a dumb question, but havent found easy solution yet. Lets imagine 200 ip cameras or other kind of devices connected to 10 x 24 port swithes. When a node or multiple nodes go down, what would be the easiest way to find out to what port they belong to? at the beginning switch will remember the device, but after some times it will forget it and netxms will show blank interface.
Some ideas:
* dig throught logs to see what port went down (not very usefull when 20 devices go down roughtly at same time.)
* add interface descriptions to switch ports (but what if the ports are moved around and forgot to change description)Any button like: "find switch port" last seen port or somthing ?

Hi,
one possible workaround is to use hook script on topology poll to collect information about devices connected to the switch and update custom attribute or comment on those devices. We also have request for adding "connection history" functionality to NetXMS so probably after some time system will keep track of ports used for device connection automatically.
Best regards,
