This can happen if you have multiple Layer2 domains (CDP/LLDP). E.g. locations that are connected via a WAN connection such as MPLS or the Internet. Normally there is no CDP/LLDP adjacency between these sites.
To solve this problem, add at least one seed device from each site to the configuration file (see [HowTo](HOWTO.md)). This way NVDCT will create a topology file for all Layer2 domains together. To view a specific location, you need to start the topology view from a device of that location. Currently there is no good way to connect these Layer2 domains within Checkmk.

1. The creation of the Layer3 topology is based on the host label `nvdct/routing_capable:yes`. This label is added by the `inv_ip_address` plugin to all hosts with more than one IP address.
