Hi,

I'm currently evaluating JFFNMS for use in our network. I installed
from the tar ball from jffnms.org. It seems to be working fins when I
add hosts manually, but I have some problems with network discovery.

I'm running JFFNMS v0.8.2 on a Debian v3.1 (Sarge) machine. I have a 
small test network with three switches and two computers:

* 3Com SuperStack 3 4226T (192.168.1.10)
* 3Com SuperStack 3 4400SE (192.168.1.20)
* 3Com SuperStack II 1100 (192.168.1.30)
* WinXP Laptop (192.168.1.100)
* Debian JFFNMS (192.168.1.1) 

The laptop and JFFNMS are connected to the 4400SE switch. The 4400SE
and 1100 switch are connected to the 4226T switch using crossover
cables.

I've added a zone for 192.168.1.0/24, enabled network discovery, 
checked "allow private IPs", added "public" to the SNMP community 
CSV and stated that I want it to scan the net every hour.

I have uncommented the autodiscovery_network.php line in the crontab.

I ran "php autodiscovery_network.php master 5" manually two times to
see if it was working. It seemed to find several hosts. When looking
under "Network Discovery" in the web interface I was somewhat
confused. It stated:

Discovered Networks  
0.0.0.0/24 has 2 Hosts          192.168.1.0/24 has 1 Hosts  

Under "All Hosts" it states that it has found the 4400SE and the 1100, 
but there are no IP addresses for those two. It has also found the 
Laptop which has the correct IP.

When looking in the table in the database there are IPs for those two 
switches though:

mysql> select * from nad_ips;
+----+------+---------------+------+---------+-----+
| id | host | ip            | type | network | dns |
+----+------+---------------+------+---------+-----+
|  1 |    1 | 192.168.1.1   |    1 |       2 |     |
|  2 |    1 | 192.168.1.30  |    1 |       1 |     |
|  3 |    2 |               |    6 |       3 |     |
|  4 |    3 | 192.168.1.100 |    1 |       2 |     |
|  5 |    1 | 192.168.1.20  |    1 |       1 |     |
|  6 |    4 |               |    6 |       3 |     |
+----+------+---------------+------+---------+-----+

I've been searching the mailing list archives and I've found some 
post from people with similar problems. But I haven't really found a 
solution. Is it me who has configured something incorrectly here or am 
I just misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? 

The network discovery function would really help with the inital setup 
of the system so I don't have to type in everything. Does anyone have 
any ideas to what is causing the IPs not to show up? I would 
appreciate any help, ideas or pointers to some documentation regaring 
this.
