Dear all,
I’m new to “The Dude” and my question is:
How can I get a map of the physical Layout of my network.
I’ve several Cisco Switches connected to each other via TRUNKs.
Is it possible to get a map that shows how the switches are connected (maybe with information on which interfaces the connection is established) ?
Many thanks for any hints

Sure.
Create the Cisco devices and then create links between them…
Many thanks for your answer.
Do I have to create the Cisco manually ? No auto discover ?
So that means, that there is no possibility to auto discover the links ?
Many thanks
Juergen
i have run dude (original version) a long time ago. It was very good aboiut discovering links and what was routing them. I loaded dude beta3 yesterday and none of this seems to happen anymore, it just discovers devices but doesn’t work the same at the older version. Is beta dude just not completed to the point it discovers like the original version? I am running the dude server on Ros beta9, so maybe its that …
Open Dude, click on Discover, check ‘Layout when done’, set more than one Hop, set discovery type to Reliable. Wait until it finishes to the end.
It can’t discover switches and hubs because they don’t have an IP, it can’t know how the wires go.
previously if I gave dude winbox or snmp access to a RouterOS box that all my networks are connected to, it would discover them any lay them out. I have tried many hops as well as the other options. Possibly it is because I have to change the winbox or snmp credentials after it’s been auto discovered, ie - reprobe or (re)discover isn’t using snmp/winbox to see connected networks. This is 3.0 latest beta running as a service on 3.0b9 routeros on x86.
