There are a couple of ways to handle this. The best way would be to get into 
these switches and set them to have unique names, then rediscover them in Zenos.

The second way to go would be to change the way that Zenoss tries to name 
discovered devices. You could modify the device creation code to ignore the 
SNMP sysName when trying to name the devices. To do this, you'll want to edit 
$ZENHOME/Products/ZenModel/Device.py. Find the manage_createDevice method and 
the following section:


Code:

        log.debug("device name = %s", snmpname)
        if not deviceName:




Insert a line between these two setting the snmpname to None. So it'll look 
like this:


Code:

        log.debug("device name = %s", snmpname)
        snmpname = None
        if not deviceName:
