Re: [nv-l] MIB data collection on community string index device

["Leslie Clark" <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Would the customer would be willing to configure an extra dummy ip address
on the device? You would almost have to force Netview to create the thing
as two separate objects.

Dear all,
   My customer has a Layer-4 switch named Nortel Passport 8600, and insert
a WSM module on it. If I want to get the SNMP information about Passport
8600, I need to use community name A; if I want to get the SNMP information
about the WSM module, I need to use community name B, to the same IP
address. My problem is that in Netview I could set only one community name
for a specific IP, but in this case, there are two community names
correspond to two different devices on the same IP, in other words, I could
get SNMP information about one of them at the same time. My customer would
like to collect the MIB information of "both" ( use the data collection
function of Netview ), how should I do?  any hints may help, thanks........
