Getting topology of the network

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi All,

To get topology of a LAN, I have used LLDP package. I use the following scenarios:
1- Using bridge in LAN of openwrt routers: to unified LAN ports and LAN ports in each routers, I use lan-bridge mode. However. bridge mode is done in link layer and I cannot see the routers. In other words, When two nodes A and B connected to the routers by LAN, if I use LLDP, it shows that A and B are directly connected to each others, while they are connected to the routers and do not have direct physical link.

2- Using WAN port: I have used WAN port on my router to connect openwrt routers together. In this scenario, each routers and systems connected to the router are a local LAN. But, When I set IP for each LAN port, it has its own neghboring table!

Is there any solution to get topology of the network?

Thanks.
