Does anybody know if a Catalyst 2950 switch has a programmable VLAN
configuration? I can't find anything in the Software Configuration
Guide. After downloading all of the CISCO mibs and doing an snmpwalk
on the switch, I can't see anything that looks like writable VLAN
configurations. The only thing even remotely close is the
'entLogicalDescr' which is a STRING with the text names of the
configured VLANs on the switch.
What do you mean by 'programmable'? I'm going to assume you mean
"access
via snmp": With a different series of Cisco's, one of my coworkers
found a hack to access the VLAN specific stuff via SNMP by appending
"@123" the snmp community string (horrible!), for example if your rw
community string was "private" and you wanted to access vlan 123
specific
entries, you could snmpwalk "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to get at VLAN specific
stuff.
It's horrible, but it's undocumented and it works.
Yeah, right now I think my only option is access via snmp,
specifically writing the vlan configuration via snmp. The 2950
supports being part of what cisco calls a vmps (vlan management
policy server) but only as a client, and not as a server.
I did some more digging with snmpwalk yesterday after sending the
email and I did happen upon the @vlanid community string hack. The
sucky part is that I can't find something obviously looking that lets
me modify the membership.
So I think I'm resigned to expecting the commands to modify
membership. Meh.
