Network maps: add two links between two routers

[jbaptiste]

Hi,

In our network we have a couple Cisco routers that have two interfaces interconnected to each other. I was wondering how to represent that within a network map ? Adding one of the links between two routers has no issues but how to add the second one ? it is possible ?

Thanks.

No is not possible, this is requested a long time ago and we had nothing.

https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-442?jql=text%20~%20%22two%20links%22

Sad, huh?

see what i did : Transparent Objects, Create a transparent object on Photosop and then include them on zabbix, u can do 3 things it it, as you can see in the image
Link Curve, floating labels, and doubles link on same devices

sorry for bad english

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for your answer, one question, it isn't clear to me where do you put the transparent images ? if I'm guessing right based on the attached image, you are using a transparent image per link and are linking both routers to each one ?

To add new images to be used on a map you have, on Zabbix, go to
Administration -> General
Then on the right side, select Images,
an then u can click on the button "create icon" to add new images, by this i added a transparent image (remember to saver as .png)

See the next image to see how i used them on this example, use your creativity!

It is possible to draw multiple links between two hosts on the map with a workaround. You need to upload a transparent image that will be used to route links via a different path. Recently I have migrated maps from Weathermap to Zabbix and wrote a tutorial on how to do that:
