Re: [nv-l] oid_to_type

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

When you browse those devices with the
MIB browser what do they return for sysObjectID (mib-2 System)?
What value is stored for them in the
object database?  
If they match what's in oid_to_type
and oid_to_symbol, then that's' what type and what symbol they should have.
If not, you should probably call Support.

I don't know about what you are referring
to with serversetup -- whatever it is, it's not a function I have ever
used.  But you are correct.  Those are all OIDs under the enterprises
tree, not MIB-II (or mib-2).

Subject	[nv-l] oid_to_type

Greetings 

oid_to_type if I look in the actual oid_to_type file in /usr/OV/conf/oid_to_type
this is what I have in it 

1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.800.1.1.2.1.3.1.1:Alcatel AOS:Alcatel AOS:HB
1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.800.1.1.2.1.3.1.2:Alcatel AOS:Alcatel AOS:HB
1.3.6.1.4.1.800.3.1.1.3:Xylan:Xylan:HB 
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.444:cisco Systems:Cisco Router:G # C1700

I looki n the oid_to_sym file and I have the following entries (abbreviated)

1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.800.1.1.2.1.3.1.2:Connector:Multi-port #
1.3.6.1.4.1.6486.800.1.1.2.1.3.1.1:Connector:Multi-port #
1.3.6.1.4.1.800.3.1.1.3:Connector:Multi-port # 
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.444:Connector:Gateway # Cisco C1700

I deleted and then rediscovered all these types of devices verified they
had proper snmp setup on them and they still return with the generic symbol
of computer. 

am I missing something?   Also in the serversetup screen for oid_to_sym
if I chose select for the MIB-II none of these show up in the list I have
to add them by hand everytime. Is this because their OID's are private
enterprise oid's? and not the mgt.mib-ii.system oid's?

Thanks
