Pessoal,

 

instalei o Network Topology Mapper 2.2.1.667 no win10, testei em duas maquinas distintas, mas em ambas estou tento erro. Quando vai mostar o mapa, depois de fazer o discovery apresenta msg de erro "Application Error" - Network Topology Mapper encoutered an unexpecte error and needs to close.

Alguem consegiu usar o NTM no win 10?

ExtremeNetworks LLDP compatibility

Does anyone have experience with ExtremeNetworks Summit network switches and NTM?

 

I've enabled LLDP with all relevant advertise TLV's but NTM doesn't properly show link properties.

For instance link speed isn't detected at all (UNKNOWN) and a single link connection is shown as a trunk, e.g. actuall connection switch001:1/1 - switch002:1/2 is shown as switch001:1/1 - switch002:? and switch001:? - switch002:1/2.

 

LLDP provides for instance link speed correctly:

 

switch001.2 # show lldp neighbors detailed

NTM and Dell Force10 switches

$

The Dell switch we SNMP walked does not appear to provide connectivity information using any of the MIBs used by NTM. Here is what NTM uses, which is fairly generic and supported by most:


BRIDGE-MIB
==========
1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1

 

Q-BRIDGE-MIB
============
1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1

 

LLDP-MIB
=========
lldpConfigManAddrTable (1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.1.7)
lldpRemManAddrTable (1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.2)

 

Looking at the results of the walk, we get nothing for LLDP-MIB or Bridge-MIB and only get the 2nd and 3rd columns from the Q-Bridge-MIB table. The first column containing the MAC addresses and the second contain the ports.

 

As the switch is not providing any connectivity information, NTM is not able to establish what is connected to the switch and on what port.

 

Any idea on how to fix this for any of you that have Dell Force10 switches with NTM?

L2 connections missing on map

Hello

 

I am requesting your help regarding a question on NTM.

 

I have discovered my network but it seems that L2 connections are missing.

 

I do have a "Core" equipement which is directly linked to many others switches but the "discovery map" is showing that the "Core" Equipment is connected to an ICMP equipment (that I do not have) and connections to others switches are showing from this ICMP equipment.

 

Can someone know why ?

 

In advance, many thanks for your help.

Should I put NTM on my server or just install on one of our workstations?

$

So, We're finally planning on buying NTM and i'm a bit torn on how I should deploy it. I've looked around and saw a lot of people would install it on one of the servers and use it on that. Would it be better to just install it on the server and remote in and use it when we need to, or install it on a workstation and just use it there? and what would be the pros and cons of both?

Network Mapping in Windows 10?

Hello all,

 

The ability to create a Network Map was an extremely valuable tool in Windows 7, but unfortunately it was removed from Windows 8, 8.1, and is still AWOL in Windows 10.Is there any chance that it will be returned to some future build of Windows 10?Why does Microsoft continually take steps to destroy the functionality of their mainstream OS?

 

Please help.

 

I did not find the right solution from the internet.

Hi All,

 

I have NTM installed and able to scan and and map.

 

I have a good number of MAC desktops, OS x 10.8.5.x that I would like to capture via SNMP as I will also be using Engineer Tools Set to monitor as well.

 

Can someone let me know the steps to turn on snmp on the local MAC pc's to get SNMP turned on.

 

Thank You

Is there a trial product key for NTM to unlock a couple more features?

hello all,


I am curious to know if some how i were able to get some way of unlocking a few extra features with the NTM product? I am currently being tasked to search out a tool that will allow myself and other team members to not have to manually draw network design maps. I have tested other brands ex Intermapper they have been able to provide me with a couple of extra features to help with the decision process. Is this something that may be possible to acquire and if so how do i go about it?

Thank you

RiverBed SteelHEad Will Not Show On Network Topology MApper Results After Scans

$

Dear SolarWinds and Thwacksters,

 

Working on getting some scans into a clients system.  Riverbed Steel head devices will just not show on any Network Topology Mapper scan results.  I have verified that I can both ping and run a snmp-walk successfully.  For some odd reason even on the newest version of NTM 2.21 they will not show at all.  This is causing much headache as all networks in the client network have Steel heads after the MPLS router.  This is breaking the ability to create large corporate WAN maps.  Need help with reasons for this and to let development know of the issue to fix or find a way to add them to the map for use.

 

 

Kind Regards,

NETWORK TOPOLOGY MAPPER IS THE SOLUTION?

$

Hello all,

 

I'm looking for a solution, a client of ours has around 9 facilities that all share the same network. He basically wants to automatically discover all devices and changes in the network. Maybe some more statistics and information like OS and device type / vendor would be useful! He doesn't care about performance at all! Just availability and changes in the network!

Question is, the product to go is NTM? I also thought about device tracker but NTM seems to fit better in this scenario!

 

Please help.

 

I did not find the right solution from the internet.

Network Atlas Not showing Links

$

Good afternoon all,

I am new to Solarwinds and my company uses Solarwinds extensively so I am trying to get up to speed with it.  I have been tasked with creating some network topology maps in Solarwinds and when I go into Network Atlas, I have added a couple of devices that I am know have a direct connection to one another.  I did a network discovery to make sure everything had been discovered but when I run connect now, I am not seeing a connection between the two devices and not sure what actions to take next.

 

For example I have two edge routers that are connected together via two 10Gig Interfaces using LAG

I also have a connection from the edge router to a 1Gig Interface on the firewall

 

When I put the two edge routers and the firewall on a map and then run connectnow, it shows that 0 networks are discovered.  I have read the forums and think I have done all that I need to do so that these connections should show up, but maybe I am missing something.

 

Any thoughts or assistance on what I might check would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Wally

Hello all,

 

Is there recommended auto scan network topology creator out there? Most of our gears are Cisco, HP Pro-curve switches and Windows machines. Solarwinds Lan Surveyor is a good option. Anything similar or better out there?

 

Please help.

NTM Node ICON

I am new to NTM. All the initial scans I have produced have Desktop PCs showing just a plane ICMP ICON. I can't see how to make the ICON show a PC. It would be even better if it showed the type and model of PC. Is NTM capable of this?

Fellow Thwacksters,

 

We are planning to setup Solarwinds NTM on it's on Virtual Machine running Windows 2016.

 

I have opened a Support Ticket to determine real-world Best Practice for the for the following on the the VM.

 

CPU: 1, 2, etc.

CPU Speed:

RAM:

Windows OS Drive:

Data Storage Drive:

NIC's:

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Additionally, I saw a thread regarding Solarwinds NTM vs. Orion UDT (User Device Tracker) - we own both, for tracking network devices along with our Splunk for best practices.

 

Any information/discussion is appreciated.
