HELP
I am runnning Netview 5.1.1 on solaris
Strange community name resolution on host.
The devices have been loaded in via LOADHOSTS and I have set the
xnmsnmpconf default community name to that of this group of devices.
(not public) I will change this back to public later.
I do a demand poll on these devices to discover that they are snmp
supported.
I create a collection for this group of devices ...
All these devices have the same community name as shown below.
_____________________________________________________
Description: sehi
Rule: (('Selection Name' ~ 'sehi-') && ('isNode' = True))
_____________________________________________________
I configure xnmsnmpconf to have this collection and its community name
(madeup). There are no individual entries or ip wildcard groups. just
the collection and default with community name of public.
I have cleared the xnmsnmpconf cache.
The device names as shown that are created on the map do not have the
domain name attached ie. (sehi-155 )
If I sellect the device and do a demand poll it fails. If I use the mib
browser it fails because it uses ( public ) as the community name.
HERE is the interresting part.
If I do an xnmsnmpconf -resolve on ( sehi-155 ) it returns ...
name = sehi-155
community = madeup
proxy = <none>
timeout = 20
retry = 3
pollInterval = 60
remotePort = 161
setCommunity = <default>
discoveryPoll = 1
useAutoAdjust = 1
fixedInterval = 60
confInterval = 86400
nodeDownIntrval= 31449600
routeEntries = 800
discoverManage = 1
ipAddr = 128.112.196.167
isProxied = FALSE
ipAddrAge = Mon Jul 26 10:47:34 1999
If I run xnmsnmpconf -resolve sehi-155.princeton.edu
I get public as the read community whic is the default name.
name = sehi-155.princeton.edu
community = public
proxy = <none>
timeout = 20
retry = 3
pollInterval = 60
remotePort = 161
setCommunity = <default>
discoveryPoll = 1
useAutoAdjust = 1
fixedInterval = 60
confInterval = 86400
nodeDownIntrval= 31449600
routeEntries = 800
discoverManage = 1
ipAddr = 128.112.196.167
isProxied = FALSE
ipAddrAge = Mon Jul 26 09:53:57 1999
Why does this resolve differently? Isn't there only one object in the
database?
It looks to me that the object sellected is (sehi-155.princeton.edu)
but the collection thinks it is object (sehi-155) so they don't match
and it falls through to the default community name.
I have tried creating different collectiions with SELECTION NAME,
IP HOSTNAME and IPIP NAME with identical results.
Am I doing something wrong or could this be a bug??
Thanks for any help.
