### Features:
- Create Layer 2 (CDP/LLDP) topology data
- Create Layer 3 (IPv4) topology data -> CMK2.3.0 only
- Create Layer 3 (IPv4) topology data
- Highlight conetion issues (Speed, Duplex/Half duplex, Native VLAN)
- Read connection data from the checkmk HW/SW inventory.
- Works in standalone and distributed monitoring environments
- Add custom connections (STATIC) for connections that are not in the inventory
- Optimized for my [CDP](https://thl-cmk.hopto.org/gitlab/checkmk/vendor-independent/inventory/inv_cdp_cache/), [LLDP](https://thl-cmk.hopto.org/gitlab/checkmk/vendor-independent/inventory/inv_lldp_cache/) and [IPv4](https://thl-cmk.hopto.org/gitlab/checkmk/vendor-independent/inventory/inv_ipv4_addresses) inventory plugins
- Merge CDP, LLDP, STATIC topologies (CMK 2.2.0 only)
- Can also be used with custom inventory plugins
- Can also be used with custom inventory plugins (deprecated)
The necessary HW/SW inventory data can be created with my CDP/LLDP/IPv4 inventory plugins.

### Requirements
To use this tool:
- your Checkmk Site must be running at least CMK version 2.2.0p1
- your Checkmk Site must be running at least CMK version 2.3.0p1
- the HW/SW inventory must be enabled
- you need to install/enable an inventory plugin to collect the connection data I.e. my [CDP cache](https://thl-cmk.hopto.org/gitlab/checkmk/vendor-independent/inventory/inv_cdp_cache/) or [LLDP cache](https://thl-cmk.hopto.org/gitlab/checkmk/vendor-independent/inventory/inv_lldp_cache/) plugins
- check if the Checkmk HW/SW inventory finds the required data (CDP/LLDP neighbors)
- the [Network visualization plugin](https://exchange.checkmk.com/p/network-visualization) must be installed (CMK 2.2.0 only, for CMK2.3.0 this is bildin)
**Note**: if you are using my CDP/LLDP/IPv4 plugins update at least to version
- 0.7.6-20240414 for CDP
