[NEBULA] Why can't I see my non-nebula device in Topology?

Hi, it's me again with more questions lol.
I have a Zyxel GS2200 switch that connects to three of my NAP, and my gateway is a USG 200. But it seems that the topology only tells me the Nebula devices, what about the non-nebula devices? Any place to configure or setup?

Hi RUnglaube

The topology will show your non-nebula devices with a diamond shape (other), as explained within the symbology legend. However, the protocol LLDP is used to create this topology, then you need to be sure that your non-nebula devices are correctly configured to communicate using LLDP packets.

What kind of information can I obtain in the topology chart by enabling the LLDP protocol on my non-nebula devices?

Hi RUnglaube

If you enable the LLDP protocol on the non-nebula devices, you can get the MAC address in the topology.

Thanks! one last question, if I have Nebula devices that are registered in different sites, will I be able to see them in the topology?

Hi RUnglaube,

Yes, you will see Nebula devices which are registered in different sites in the topology, and it will show with a diamond shape.

Thanks Irene! Everything clear now
