Hello,
Is there a way to insert an unmanaged switch to the network map? I use some of them in my network and would like to mark them on the map. Right now I have real network topology something like this:
Router -- managed switch -- unmanaged switch -- devices
Only one devices on the unmanaged switch is shown, even though multiple MACs are detected on the relevant port of the managed switch. Is there a way to mark that there is an unmanaged switch so that those devices are drawn on the map (with link speed/usage pulled from the devices if possible)?

Hi,
There is no way to insert an unmanaged switch into one of NAV's maps. NAV was created solely with managed devices in mind, and no one has ever expressed any interest in anything else.
The reason NAV has detected a device from behind the unmanaged switch as a neighbor on the relevant port of the managed switch, is likely that either CDP or LLDP communication has taken opalce between the two, and these packets have passed through the unmanaged switch as if it were invisible.
