Looking through the first topic you posted reveals what I think is the problem. The following post specifically. http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=26925#26925 See how the bad OIDs are things like .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14 and . 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20? These really are bad OIDs because they're missing the ifindex on the end. This clearly indicates that you've bound the ethernetCsmacd template directly to this device rather than letting the automatic component level binding do its thing. http://www.zenoss.com/Members/cluther/how-zenoss-chooses-templates What you need to do is edit the zProperties for this device to see what the zDeviceTemplates is set to. Find this properties definition path and remove ethernetCsmacd template from there. _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
