[Netdisco] New User questions

[James M P. <jm...@co...>]

I've got some questions that I can't seem to find the answers to googling or looking at the documentation. I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance or point me to the part of the docs I've missed.


1.       In the SVG network map, what is the meaning in the color of the nodes  - some are grey and some are red.

2.       Is there troubleshooting docs on tracking down why discovery doesn't seem to walk much of the network? I.e., I have mostly Procurve switches that do LLDP or CDP depending on age of the switch.

a.        But if I do netdisco -r switchname on any one, it only seems to find 2 or so neighbors and doesn't ever go on to the neighbors of the neighbors.

b.      Is this expected?

c.       How can I interpret output (or where do I look beyond the command output) to try and figure out what's wrong with my network devices config or my netdisco config?

Thanks for your time.
