Hi Linwood
First, I guess at the command line, if they have it, you can show lldp
neighbors or similar for cdp, and it works - you can see the neighbor
device of the other vendor?
Second, the has_topo() method is looking for standard SNMP table records of
neighbors, and perhaps they're not implemented yet on the platform. Do you
have a support contract to ask them if it's implemented?
Third, sometimes the stuff is in SNMP but in a custom/wrong location. We
can possibly do a bit of work if you send an snmpwalk output (
https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco/wiki/Snapshot#snmpwalk-option), but it
depends on someone finding the time. The best option is always for the
vendor to Do The Right Thing and put neighbor info into the standard place
in SNMP.
regards
Oliver.
