Hi I finally found out the OID (see below) for the missing port descriptions from the HP GbE2c blade switches from the support group for the blade switch (http://www.bladeconnect.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=16 8). However I am still not sure how to integrate the description data into the target config file. (I think I was unable to see these OIDs / descriptions earlier because snmpwalk was not running to completion when run against the blade switch and instead was getting an error, and that therefore cfgmaker likewise gets an error when running against this target ... and that that is why the output config file for the target is empty of descriptions ...).
So my question is, is it possible for cfgmaker to get the description data below and build that data into the mrtg config file (without writing a fancy script that will somehow insert the desctiption data into the config file for the target.) Appreciate any response rgds Derek ########################################### mrtg....@mrtg ~ $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public bs11.bm.syd 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.1 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.2 = STRING: " description def " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.3 = STRING: " description xxx " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.4 = STRING: " description yyy " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.5 = STRING: " description aaa " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.6 = STRING: " description bbb " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.7 = STRING: " description ccc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.8 = STRING: " description vvvv " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.9 = STRING: " description www " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.10 = STRING: " description 123 " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.11 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.12 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.13 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.14 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.15 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.16 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.17 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.18 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.19 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.20 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.21 = STRING: " description abc " SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.22 = STRING: " description whatever" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.23 = STRING: "Uplink4" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.24 = STRING: "Uplink5" mrtg....@mrtg ~ $ ####################################### mrtg....@mrtg ~ $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public bs11.bm.syd > /dev/null Error: OID not increasing: RFC1213-MIB::ipRouteDest.224.0.0.0 >= RFC1213-MIB::ipRouteDest.224.0.0.0 mrtg....@mrtg ~ $ ####################################### <<Picture (Metafile)>> From: Hazell Derek Sent: Tuesday, 3 February 2009 10:11 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [mrtg] MIB query (re HP/Nortel Blade switches )... Hi Scott I tried the ifdesc-alias option within cfgmaker, but it made little or no difference - the Description field in the cfgmaker output still comes up empty. Seems to me though it is firstly a problem in the setup of the HP/Nortel GbE2c blade switch. As I mentioned before an snmpwalk against the blade switch returns info but no port description data. Actually the snmpwalk command also returns an error (I don't know if that error is significant - perhaps the missing description data is not being returned because of this error(?)) (see below). So I suspect I need to do something in the blade switch so that snmpwalk will return the description data. Once snmpwalk can see that data then perhaps mrtg cfgmaker will see the descriptions as well ... regards Derek ########################################## BRIEF OUTPUT OF SNMPWALK COMMAND AGAINST BLADE SWITCH (NOTE ERROR AT THE END) $ snmpwalk -v2c -commstring bs11.xx.yyy SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.1.1 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (2364917000) 273 days, 17:12:50.00 SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: BS11.XX.YYY SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 6 IF-MIB::ifNumber.0 = INTEGER: 280 IF-MIB::ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 IF-MIB::ifIndex.257 = INTEGER: 257 IF-MIB::ifIndex.258 = INTEGER: 258 . . .

For the Nortel 8600 switch you want to use --ifdesc=alias in cfgmaker. Alias seems to work for most Nortel switches. In the past I hacked in an alias2 for the 4500 series, but after upgrading MRTG I lost that, and I don't think it was needed after that anyway. Hope that helps with the Nortel Switches. Let me know if you have any other Nortel switch issues as that is the only switch we use here.
