Fortiswitch topology?
-
Hello,
I seem to have issues to get topology info out of our Fortiswitches, one thing i noticed compared to our cisco is the Interface showing [ 0] in the FDB tab of the switches.
Not sure where to start really, including maybe relevant topology info from the log filethank you

Hi,
Is it possible that you could provide remote access to some lab fortiswitch so our developers could talk to it to improve the drivers?
Or at least please share output of
snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> <switch_ip> 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.3.7.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> <switch_ip> 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.1.4.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c <community> <switch_ip> 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2
snmpget -v2c -c <community> <switch_ip> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 -
Hello,
thank you very much. I'm sure something can be arranged, would this be about snmp access or something more.
In the meanwhile I've uploaded the info asked for, I've used nxsnmpwalk/get if that ok, data is from a fortiswitch 1024E.thank you,
regards

Hi!
I've added driver for FortiSwitch devices, it will be part of release 6.2.0 (should be ready in early June). If we will make another patch release for 6.1 we likely backport it too.
Could you please show how hardware inventory view looks like for the switch?
Is "Ports" view already working? If not we might add physical port marking to the driver.Best regards,
Victor -

Fixes were made to Fortinet driver. If you are on Linux, you can build current netxms server from master branch to test it on your devices - compilation docs are here: https://github.com/netxms/netxms/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#️-development-setup
Or just wait for the release of v. 6.2
-
Could you please export or show screenshot of interfaces view? I'm interested only in columns with interface name, description, index, and type. Looks like we have to add physical port mapping on the driver level.

Just added physical interface marking in FortiSwitch driver.
