I thought I'd add some additional information If a device is configured in the l2_polling.cfg file, then it will be processed as follows: 1) If it is a layer 2 device (i.e. configured in l2_oids.cfg) AND it is not a gateway (i.e. only has one interface), then it will be fully discovered. This means that all ports will be discovered and devices will be connected to those ports. In addition, PSM will monitor all of the discovered ports. 2) If it is a multi-layer switch (i.e. configured as a gateway and/or has multiple interfaces), then only the ports will be discovered, but devices will not be connected to those ports. PSM will monitor all of the discovered ports. Nothing is done for multi-layer switches that are NOT configured in l2_polling.cfg.

Thanks for this Sandro.
Can I just check your snmpwalk command here (I am using the NetView
snmpwalk so probably slightly different syntax from yours). You have:
snmpwalk -c publice@1 system
Are you saying the community name is publice or is the "e" on the end a
typo??
I assume you are trying to get the system table?
I have tried:
\usr\ov\bin\snmpwalk -c public@1 system
...which works fine. However I have also tried:
\usr\ov\bin\snmpwalk -c public@2 system
to get info from VLAN2 and I get no response.
I'm not sure why you say the top command tests whether a device supports
CSI???
Cheers,
Jane
