Hi Andy

I believe we have just updated Netdisco's MIB bundle for the G8264.

Please run netdisco-deploy and try a discover on the devices, and let us know how it goes.

regards,
oliver.

Ok. All are this class:

I'm not 100% sure if that's correct, the non working 2 have MIBs that
have specific names:

GbTOR-G8264.mib
GbTOR-G8052.mib

These come with the firmware download for the switches.

Here's some data:

I can keep working on this as long as I can figure it out.

Hi Andy,

:-)

I have 2 switches that have always had blank os_ver fields.

Based on yesterday's troubleshooting, I tried the same stuff but I'm
not getting anywhere.


I would start with the one which is working, and find the Device Class which SNMP::Info is using: either from the device table in the database or the
Device Class field shown in Device -> Details tab in the web.

Find the source file for that online somewhere here:
https://metacpan.org/release/SNMP-Info

Look for an os_ver() subroutine, and see what it's doing. Perhaps it pulls
agSoftwareVersion which works for that model.

The other thing to do is check which Device Class the *not working* devices
are being assigned. Hopefully the same as the working device.

If not, then it may be a case of updating the rules in SNMP/Info.pm which assign the Device Classes. You can force a device class for testing (we
strip SNMP::Info from the front of the classname):

~netdisco/bin/netdisco-do show -d 1.2.3.4 -e Layer3::HP::os_ver

If the device class is correct for the not-working devices, then it'll
probably be related to which SNMP leaf to get. As in the JUNOS software
version example you had before, sometimes we need to fetch a couple of
leaves and try them in turn.

regards,
oliver.



Here is some psql info:

    model     | vendor  |    os_ver
--------------+---------+---------------
 G8052        | ibm     |
 G8264, Stack | ibm     |
 G8124-E      | ibm     | 7.11.10

The G8124-E is the only switch that has ever had a populated os_ver
field, it never worked for the others.

So I did discover with -DISQ and I don't see a version string anywhere
in the output that looks like "7.11.10".

I did notice this for 8052 and 8264 devices:

SNMP::Info::_global(agSoftwareVersion) NOSUCHOBJECT at
/home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5/App/Netdisco/Core/Discover.pm line 186.

Any hints on how to continue for this one?

Thanks.

I updated Netdisco, did netdisco-deploy, and restarted.

No change unfortunately.

The class for the G8264 is still this:

SNMP::Info::Layer3::IBMGbTor

I can get whatever info you need.

Thanks.

Andy

The odd thing is that we have a pair of these Arista switches in
the core of the data center and they feed all the top of rack
and middle of row switches.  Only one of the core switches
is afflicted.  How it assumes the IP address of a host sitting
out one of the top of row switches seems mysterious.

Deleting and discovering always produced the same result.
However, setting reverse_sysname to false and deleting and
discovering fixed the issue.  Does that offer any hints about
what might be causing this?

Upon further investigation, it seems the above command is only valid for
DGS-3420-series(SC/TC/PC). On the DGS-3620-* , DES-3526, DES-3528 and
DGS-3426PC you cannot issue just the enable command, you have to specify
the IP address.
Also note, the IP address is not allowed to be the Loopback of said device,
it must be one of the other interfaces (System, crosslinks etc).
So an example which may feature in your docs?
Switches (only uplinks):
conf lldp po 25-26 mgt_addr ipv4 1.1.1.2 en
Routers (all ports)
conf lldp po 1-28 mgt_addr ipv4 1.1.1.1 en

Hans
