Exclude Nodes from LAG Interfaces?
« on: October 05, 2018, 01:22:52 pm »
Hello Community,

how can I exclude LAG Interface from the Node Population Feature?

Unfortunately my Nodes are mapped to the Coreswitch LAG Interfaces, instead to the there connected Accessswitch and the corresponding Real Edge-Ports.

When I Re-Discover the Accessswitch I see the nodes there, but only until the next Cron/Manual Re-Discovery of the Core..

Thanks,
Jan

Common problem, if neighbors are not detected on an interface. You can set linktype='NOP' on those LAG interfaces (e.g. with System-Database). In NeDi 1.9 it can be set comfortably with Devices-Interfaces...

How i can set the link type to "NOP"?
On my side this problem is that all Nodes on "coreswh2" on Port "Trk1". And not on the floor switches.


UPDATE: I fix it like this way:
Code: [Select]
update interfaces set linktype = "NOP" where device like "%coreh2%" and ifname like "%Trk1"Works fine now.

Thanks, but it seems it doesnt work for me -> Nodes are still there -> See Screenshots from System-Database.php

Does the lastseen timestamp still get updated on those nodes? When you add debugging (-db), you should see lines like this:

DBG :$mc on $if vl$vl ignored due to NOP

Oh you have right, I didn't realize that the timestamp was not updated any longer. In the meantime the wrong mapping is gone on my test-switch (I think after round about 30 days).

Is there a manuall way to "re-map" old entrys, without deleting the Nodes? I would like to keep the Node Details and History, but want to get rid of the old wrong mappings.

I can only think of adjusting it manually in the DB. Retire will eventually age it out anyways...

Can I also explicity INCLUDE Nodes WHEN an neighbor is deteced?

Reason: I have thousands of FTTO 5 Port Switches (From Nexans, Microsens and also Dafur/CBL) but I don't want to add them also in NeDi. I only want to have all their Upstream Switches in NeDi with the ability to use the Node-Tracking / Population feature also for Nodes connected directly to the FTTO Switches.

Thanks for looking at this together...

For everybody else needing this. If you specify border from NeDi 1.9 onwards, it'll keep nodes on that interface...
