RE: [nv-l] isSwitch

[<Michel.Grossenbacher@coop.ch>]

Hi Ethan

there is a way to set this flag manualy.

Create a file that contains a header like this:

 

Selection Name,isSwitch

 

then add a line like this:

 

yourswitch,TRUE (I think this flag will be a boolean one, but never tried the boolean ones.)

 

save it and do a nvdbimport -fv yourfile

 

This should set your Flag to true.

I did as you said , deleted and rediscovered the devices but isSwitch did not get set, I do have ciscoworks and it is intergrated into netview , but new device support stopped when aix became no longer supported by cisco.

 

The reason i need isSwitch set is that we have tavve reporting and it will not put the devices into the group "switches" unless "isSwitch" flag is set

isSwitch is set when the OID is declared in /usr/OV/conf/C/oid_to_sym to be "...:connector:switch".  The OID for the new switch type should also be entered in /usr/OV/conf/oid_to_type at the same time.  Installing the Cisco interface package should cover this.

where do i find in the mib tree the value to set cisco switches (2950 adn4507) to isSwitch ??  my 3500's came with that already turned on but the new switchs dont show it.

 

I thought it was sysServices but they match up for one thats show 'isSwitch = true' and the ones that are missing it.

 

thanks
