We have problems when we configure IP-addresses directly on physical interfaces on routers (cisco catalysts or ordinary cisco-routers e.g. 7206) and connect them to switches (we use switches to interconnect several routers).
The interfaces are discovered by gdd, but not placed in the correct VLAN even if we use the correct description-field (with VLAN ID) and the VLAN is known to NAV, and the switch is correctly configured with VLAN.
This messes up the traffic-map, making it usesless.... (In NAV2 this works like a charm....)
I would think that more detailed debugging is needed :-) Contact nett-drift@usit.uio.no to get access.
And while I'm at it.... A second bug (that I think has been mentioned before, but):
The cricket-config does not contain the correct decription-fields on routers. The router is OK, and the "Router ports" report (.../report/gwport) is also OK, but cricket says "No decription available". On switches we do not see this problem, port descriptions show up fine in cricket. I guess that "makecricketconfig" is to blame in one way or another :-)
And a third one :-)
In the traffic-map I can right-click on a router and get a router-menu. Choosing "Netlist" tryes to access cricket, not the reports....

The same here, traffic-map is showing only few connections. Also - Can anyone explain what will show traffic-map if there are two connections between routers? One backup, and one main-connection, controlled by ospf?

the same here :) This is already discussed with Vidar Faltinsen in "no descriptions in Cricket for router ports" thread.

The same here :)
The strange thing is - I have no colors on links, if I put mouse over the link I can see "no data" info, so links are black. But... After clicking menu "load" on this link I have proper cricket window opened with correct graphs... Weird.
Traffic map seriously need some more work. Sometimes moving objects is working, sometimes not... And there is more annoing bugs in this module. I know, that it needs good data from other modules but it so different comparing to pretty pictures from NAV homepage.
Also - Traffic Map applet works for me only in IE (XP), I can't see this on mozilla-firefox or konqueror on my Debianed laptop. My friend tried from Gentoo - the same problem.
