only one of the switches displays where each of its port leads. all the other switches in the network have either one of these problems:

What kind of switches do you have? From which vendor? A bug was recently discovered (and fixed), which prevented the IP Device Center from displaying ports on certain switches. Are the missing ports visible from the report tool (i.e. find the switches in question in the All IP Devices report).
- show the port view, but when clicking on either port - there is
no information of to which netbox it leads.
NAV is still unable to extract cam tables from some vendors' switches (specifically NAV lacks support for extracting data from the Q-BRIDGE-MIB), and this will lead to poor machine tracker data. This is one of the basics that are used to derive the network topology.
