Layer 2 and Layer 3 Connection/Device Correlation

We are trying to identify which devices are interconnected to each other.  When looking at the various tables in the database I see the following tables

NodeL2Connections

NodeL3Entries

When querying these tables it does not appear that correlation of device connections is possible.  The end goal is pretty simple, a query that is able to provide a unique nodes list showing the up and or downstream connections.

In order to populate that data Solarwinds needs you to be monitoring those interfaces on both the server side and the switch side, and both devices have to support some specific SNMP OID's.  Depending on the devices involved it can be pretty hit or miss getting those relationships to automatically populate.
