[FI 9.5.0+1.0, GLPI 9.5.3] Computer<->Routers/switchs ports not connected

[mvalois]

Hello, I'm trying to map a network having ESX and routers. ESX are queried using FI-esx plugin and routers are queried using SNMP. ESX and routers are well-imported, however, their network ports are not connected together even thought some of them belong to the same networks, based on their IP addresses and network addresses. Those connections are required for Archires to link nodes on the graph.

Do you have any clue why they do not automatically connect together? Thank you, Mat.

Routers = switches? What manufacturer and models of them?

[mvalois]

Yeah they are switches. Nortel and Avaya.

I think the problem may lie in the virtual machine switch, because strictly speaking, the virtual network card of the virtual machine is connected to the virtual switch instead of the physical switch you mentioned. So glpi failed to connect automatically, I am also trying to solve this problem

Hi, i have the same problem, VM or ESXi phisical maschine don't automatic connect witch port on the switch. Did you resolve this problem ? Agent version : INVENTORY : v2.6-1.el7 NETWORKDISCOVERY : 4.2 NETWORKINVENTORY : 4.2

GLPI : 9.5+3.0

Seems because we not inventory the virtual switch on ESX, and not sure it's possible.

@ddurieux I think it is possible.

API ESX have that information:
