It means the SNMP implemented on the Alcatel sucks. The Alteons have the same problem where the description is something useless like "ethernet" - thankyou Alteon I'm glad its not the token-ring port... It causes all sorts of problems in JFFNMS because the system tries to match the description to the index so they all get squashed up together. So it looks at interface1 and says "hey ethrnernet is index 1" moves onto interface2 and says "hey ethernet is index 1" etc etc so you get 8 or how many you have configured interfaces all with index 1 and nothing for index 2,3,4..... The way around it is to find some other OID that does give something useful, perhaps in the private.enterprises area. If you are lucky the indexes match (eg interface....1 is talking about the same physical interface that private.enterprises....1 is) so you clone all the physical interface interface type and change the OID in the various pollers and discovery plugins. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
