An administrator wants to utilize Network Visualization to monitor the physical and logical network on the Nutanix cluster. The first-hop switch has LLDP enabled.
The network switch information is still not being displayed.
What is causing this problem?
The issue is likely due to SNMP not being configured properly. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is often used for network management and monitoring. Since LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) relies on both devices to share information about the physical network, proper SNMP configuration is crucial for gathering and displaying network switch information. Therefore, if SNMP is not configured correctly, the network visualization will fail to display the necessary details about the switches.
LLDP is enabled, but network switch information not being displayed, this imply layer 2 information is not available. A. If Layer 1 is not working, layer 2 info will not show. LLDP does not require trunking or ISL to be configure properly B. SNMP is layer 3, it is not required for network to be up C. br0 is virtual interface, if physical interfaces are up, they should be able to provide LLDP info, it does not require br0 to be configured correctly. D. The only possible choice is D, hardware related issue.
