How to findout point to point configutarion of all LAN devices through NMS

ronit

Dear Sir

I have a layer 3 switch on which all our network devices and PCs are terminated. I can do network discovery in NMS and add them. But I want to know how they are connected. I mean to say for example

PC/Server---->Switch------>router. I should be able to trace this configuration through NMS for all my LAN devices. Because currently by looking at a switch/router I am unable to traceout which cable is going where.

Is it possible for NMS to show connection configuration of all LAN devices.

Thanks

Ronit

Hi ronit,

NPM does this with version 10, just search on how to do a scheduled network discovery (there is a video on it in the tutorials section of the solarwinds website) and add the network topology resource to your node details webpage

unfortunately this is still very buggy and shows incorrect connections, the bugs seem to be known but have not been addressed in the next version, hopefully it will be addressed in the one after that (so it will not be fixed in the next 4months... my guess would be march/april)
