Wiring Topology Diagram

planned

Oscar Salamanca

I would like to be able to view how my network is wired in a diagram of the topology, as well as which type of cable is making the connections and whether or not its an existing hardware component/wire, or supplied by us.

"Planned" since 2020 :/

Merged in a post:

Switch Port Mapper

Sam Drake

The ability for OVRC to show what devices are connected to which switch port, possible using 3rd party network tools, but would be nice if it was built in

This would be very helpful, I have asked for this a couple of times in the past

Brendan Thomas

Something like UniFi but without the AR gimmick would be super useful!

Paul Paris

Brendan Thomas: As a multi-year user of UniFi I agree with you 100%. While the AR thing is interesting, we rarely used it. But, the ability to see the network in a schematic via UniFi was awesome. To be able to see where a connection was located from a switch surely made our work day much shorter, especially if you are connecting many multiples of devices. While OVRC is nice, the topology feature in UniFi is really hard to beat.

Pakedge BakPak had this feature. OvrC should implement something similar.

Sean Kelly

Give Domotz Pro a try! Does that and so much more!

Rob Dunham

Sean Kelly: Well, not really. First off, it doesn't do it for free. You have to purchase add-ons. And second, it works about as well at scanning as OvrC. It's typically full of false positives and the topology is rarely ever correct on networks with any amount of real architecture. And who needs it if you just have everything connected to a single core switch?

Auvik is another great resource that is software only. If OVRC could do that it will be unstoppable

Take a look at unifi , if you want and idea of what we would like.

Rob Dunham

Clancy c: OvrC has enough bugs without copying Unifi. The UI is nice though.

Clancy c

Rob Dunham: true, true. Just would be nice to see more info. Makes our jobs easier.

Rob Dunham

Clancy c: Tbh, I really like the idea too. But there's so many mission critical bugs in OvrC now that I'd rather see them work on fixing what we have than implementing these kinds of features. On a serious note though, have you seen a diagramming system that works well? The ones I've tried seem more like novelties than usable tools. I haven't found them to be very accurate.

Clancy c

Rob Dunham: unfortunately ui's tool works really well down to the point of it telling you the port the device is plugged into, if it hardwired, and what ap it's on with rsi. Yes, ovrc and araknis needs some serious fixes, if any think take a hint from there partner company pakedge.

Ron snyder

Agree

Nick Nardone

Ron snyder: BakPak already has this functionality and it's great. It would be awesome if they took this web code and expanded upon it.
