    Hello,

    we have 2 routers and about 50 switches. All can be queried without errors and, for example, if I search for an IP 172.16.222.20, this IP will be found at switch sw-kha-18 (last seen 10 minutes ago). Now I click on sw-kha-18 and this message appears: "No switches named sw-kha-18 found within the past 7 days".
    If I do the report type "Switch report on a name", with Searchstring , just 3 switches will be found. One or two weeks ago, I don't know it exactly, all switches and routers were found.

    On commandline the same:
    "netdb -i 172.16.222.20" find the IP on sw-kha-18 Port Gi1/0/10
    "netdb -sw sw-kha-18" gives no output.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    I have one logon-credentials for all our switches an another credentials for the asa. For the asa I need a enable-password.

    So far I had this in netdb.conf
    devuser = myswitchuser
    devpass = myswitchpass
    devuser2 = myasauser
    devpass2 = myasapass

    enablepass = myasaenablepass

    This works for many weeks, but suddenly, I don't know why, almost all switches uses the enablepass.
    If I uncomment the enablepass-line, all works fine (except for the asa).

    So now I work with authgroups:
    authgroup_user group1 = myswitchuser
    authgroup_pass group1 = myswitchpass
    authgroup_user group2 = myasauser
    authgroup_pass group2 = myasapass
    authgroup_enable group2 = myasaenablepass

    And in devicelist.csv:
    coreswitch,arp,authgroup=group1
    asa,devtype=asa,arp,authgroup=group2
    switch1,authgroup=group1
    switch2,authgroup=group1
    switch3,authgroup=group1
    ...

    It looks good, but can you explain this behaivor?

    Thank you
    Regards
    Martin
