Dashboard Topology
Hello all
I've added second switch (same model as first one) to my network at home and noticed that switch 2 is using/registering switch one as up link but in reality both switches are connected directly to gateway.
This is how dashboard topology looks like :

but in reality its should be like this

So question is why is this happening ?
Is this because LLDP mapping is actually LLDP-MED and not "true one" as on JetStream switch models ?

I will check the ticket and respond to it.
Regarding third party devices question, there are none.
What really bugs me is that on port 8 it should show GW and not SW01 as it is connected to gateway.

It looks like people are experiencing this issue in a variety of ways so I wanted to share that I stumbled across a setting that was not easy to locate or mentioned in the help documentation I reviewed when I first observed this problem.
On the Topology map for Omada Software Controller 6.0.0.24 in the upper right corner this is a row of 4 icons. It is not immediately clear what any of these should do but when I hovered over the 2nd from the right I got a tooltip popup that says 'Change Root Node'. I clicked this icon and it gave me a drop down menu selection of all 4 switches. I then set Switch-01 as my root node, because it is, and now the Topology looks correct.
This is a major improvement, although I would still like to see the ability to specify the gateway port on Switch 1 so my router would show up on the left as it logically should rather than lumped into the Switch 1 client group, but at least the rest of the network layout makes sense now after finding and changing this setting.

Thanks for sharing, that is very interesting find.
I was trying to find same thing on my controller but I do not see it, I am running 6.0.0.342.22.10 Build 20251118 Rel.34511
Can you please post a screenshot ?
Thanks

Here is a photo of the icon and hover tootip. I use Dark Mode.
This may or may not have been present in v5. In v5 the Topology showed up correctly so I never needed such a setting. It broke in v6, and this is the fix I found in v6.
