These days I find some switches connections not correct in my layer 2 topology map like the attachment.<br />
When I run the topology poll, only shows the interface 8 linked to another switch. There is device connected port 1, but nothing on port 22.<br />
I also had the experience when I changed the cable connections between switches, NetXMS could have them in map.<br />
I find only solution clean the redundant connections between switches is, delete the node first, create them again.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is it correct? Is it possible change some configuration can avoid this happen again?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance.</p>

<p dir="auto">Dear,<br />
I moved my switch59 into production, port 1~48 should connected computer devices only, port 49 is the fiber uplink to our central switch.<br />
But the NetXMS map is not correct.<br />
from the switch59 management WebUI, the port 48 is down now.<br />
from the switch30 management WebUI, the port 48 is down now. I am quite I did not connect them.<br />
from the switch55 management WebUI, the port 7 is down now. switch55 in my office, the connection could be established when I configured switch59.<br />
manually poll the topology to these 3 switches again here,</p>

<p dir="auto">I am sure I only connected interface "6" when I configured the switch, it was new and  in front of my office desk. Also I mentioned I had this problem for some period, I noticed something like NetXMS remembered the connection history. Manually poll doesn't help at all.<br />
This afternoon I moved the switch twice, look the attached picture.<br />
The switch is OFF now, I can power it on tomorrow, and share some info to you.</p>
<p dir="auto">Please tell me how to export the interfaces table? I did not use it, I think it is different than the MAC address table?<br />
Sorry, now I know where is it, in the switch object properties. I will export it tomorrow. <img src="https://forum.netxms.org/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=72b86a538fc" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:1.4em;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>
