[Bug] VMware/ESX Vlans are not synchronized

[n-rodriguez]

Hi there!

It seems that Vlans are not synchronized (not tagged with netbox-ssot), only the DefaultVlanGroup are created/updated.

nicolas@MacBook-Pro-de-Nicolas:~/go/src/github.com/n-rodriguez/netbox-ssot$ grep 'Vlan ' foo.log
2025/02/27 20:45:06 rest.go:66          DEBUG   (inventory): Getting all objects.Vlan from Netbox
2025/02/27 20:45:06 rest.go:69          DEBUG   (inventory): Getting objects.Vlan with limit=250 and offset=0

Thank you!

Hello on which source are you trying the following log? Vlans are collected and synced in many places. I would need more info here.

@bl4ko Hi there! What do you need to know?

How to reproduce vlans not being synchronized?

[n-rodriguez]

Good question ^^ Actually vlans were first synchronized with netbox-sync (they have the netbox-sync tags) and I was expecting for the tag to change (like other objects). So I would say :

1. synchronize with netbox-sync
2. synchronize with netbox-ssot

[bl4ko]

So if I understand correctly, If you filter vlans with netbox-ssot tag, there are no matches in netbox (after netbox-ssot sync)?

right

I found an other issue with Vlans : vlans are stored in vlanIDMap with vlanID as key. But I think it should also take nic in consideration.

Right now it picks and creates the first it founds.

On the top of that it also assigns a default vlan group which prevents creation of different vlan with the same ID on the same site.

@bl4ko hi there! any news?

[bl4ko]

Hi, I've just been very busy lately... vlans are stored by their group and their vlan id see. Because I think in netbox if you add to vlans with the same vlanID they must be scoped to either different vlan group or different site. Scoping only to interface won't work...

[n-rodriguez]

they must be scoped to either different vlan group or different site

Right. Right now it's not possible because vlans are automatically scoped to vlan group.

Right, you can't.
