Yes, I did few months back but was not satisfied with the output then. I thought Cisco would have come up with simpler API response. Anyways let me try to incorporate same and observe the outputs.

Link Layer API calls response below, { "node": { "derivedId": "stack3745054670298304029", "type": "stack" }, "device": { "serial": "Q2WW-4455-H7F8", "name": "XX-XX-XX-XX-MS-02-3" }, "discovered": { "lldp": null, "cdp": { "portId": "TenGigabitEthernet2/0/15", "nativeVlan": 100 } LLDP/CDP API calls response below for respective serial Number- "cdp": { "sourcePort": "47", "platform": "cisco C9500-40X", "deviceId": "XX-XX-XX-XX-SWC-01.ey.net", "address": "10.165.253.1", "portId": "TenGigabitEthernet2/0/15", "nativeVlan": 100, "version": "Cisco IOS Software [Gibraltar], Catalyst L3 Switch Software (CAT9K_IOSXE), Version 16.12.1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4)\nTechnical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport\nCopyright (c) 1986-2019 by Cisco Systems, Inc.\nCompiled Tue 30-Jul-19 19:26 by mcpre", "capabilities": "Router, Switch, IGMP conditional filtering" }, "deviceMac": "4c:a6:34:55:ee:06", "device": { "url": "" } I am saying on running the Link layer API call i am not getting detailed output but rather unfinished output when compare to CDP/LLDP API output. However limitation of using CDP/LLDP API call is that it is per serial number so if we have multiple switches in a org then it could be challenging with rate limiting Pov.

But I see some inconsistency in the data! few switches it does not show the proper LLDP/CDP data for uplinks, Polycom etc.

have you disabled CDP on the Non-Meraki interfaces? What API calls are you using?

But i don't want to disturb my existing setup and i don't understand why is that i need to disable CDP if Meraki switches support both LLDP/CDP protocols.

I am planning to build a monitoring tool, and as part of it, I want to automate the creation of a network topology similar to the Meraki dashboard. However, when using the API call below, I noticed that some non-Meraki devices (such as Cisco switches) are not displayed correctly or appear incomplete. From my understanding, Meraki switches support both LLDP and CDP, so why am I unable to see the core/distribution (non-Meraki Cisco) devices in the API response? Any suggestions or workarounds that follow API best practices? GET /networks/{networkId}/topology/linkLayer
