If you change Cisco switches from SNMP V1/2 to V3, it may go unnoticed that part of the SNMP polling in Netdisco stops working. Specifically, the collection of per-VLAN MAC address tables will fail, with authorization errors in the macsuck log. Additional snmp-server config commands on the switch are required to enable access to the […]
We’ve released our Open Source netdisco-sshcollector on github. It is a modular package for Netdisco ARP table collection by SSH, intended for devices which do not offer conventional SNMP IP-MIB access to this information. Depending on your Netdisco version, use these repositories: For Netdisco 1.x Legacy, the code is maintained by us as long as […]
http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers maps all SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes in iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise (1.3.6.1.4.1) to organizations, contacts and e-mails.
