Live Port States with SNMP Poll breaks with Brocade FCX

[bcix]

Hey,

just try to add another Brocade FCX-Switch to IXP-Manager (/ixp/switch-port/op-status/switch/)
When I try to use Live Port States with SNMP Poll I just receive a blank white page.

When I contact the switch from the IXP Manager Server with snmpstatus,
there's no problem in connecting the switch via SNMP.

The IXP-Manager logfile only shows only:
2014-04-15T19:51:14+02:00 DEBUG (7) [myip]: Logger instantiated

but not the expected

[switchname] Updating SerialNumber from to (not implemented)

Any hints on this ?

Thanks, Thorleif

So, if I understand you correctly, you've added the switch fine, it's just the live port states that is not working?

[bcix]

yes

[barryo]

Can you try with the above patch.

Also, the OID for serial number on FESX / TI24X is .1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.1.1.2.0.

Can you find the equivalent for the FCX and give me the SNMP output for a:

snmpget -On .....

Hey Barry,

sorry for the delay, Im working on this now.

First: We currently have three types of switches at BCIX:
Brocade RX-8, Brocade FCX and Force10 S4810

When I run "Live port states with SNMP-Poll" limited to the regarding switches
this works with the Brocade RX-8, and Force10 S4810, but not with the Brocade FCX.

The changes to Switcher.php from above didn't help (I'm still on V3.6.11)

With the Brocade FCX I'll get the "white blank page".

When I look into /ixp/var/log/2014/04/20140428.log when doing this for Brocade FCX, I found

2014-04-28T22:06:03+02:00 DEBUG (7) [37.5.43.122]: Logger instantiated
2014-04-28T22:06:08+02:00 DEBUG (7) [37.5.43.122]: Logger instantiated

For the Brocade RX-8, where "Live port states with SNMP-Poll" works fine I'll see this in the log:

2014-04-28T22:06:59+02:00 DEBUG (7) [37.5.43.122]: Logger instantiated
2014-04-28T22:07:27+02:00 DEBUG (7) [37.5.43.122]: Logger instantiated

And now the requested SNMP-output for all these boxes:

Brocade FCX

.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. FCX624, IronWare Version 07.2.02aT7f1 Compiled on Feb 16 2011 at 05:29:10 labeled as FCXS07202a"

and the serial:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.2 = STRING: "HADL137120041"

Please let me know if you need some more SNMP output.

Thanks a lot, Thorleif

Hey, any patches for this issue on the roadmap?

[bcix]

Also requested here: opensolutions/OSS_SNMP#12

[barryo]

Brocade FCX - detected fine, see comments in opensolutions/OSS_SNMP@e379724

[barryo]

Brocade RX8 - detected fine, see comments in opensolutions/OSS_SNMP@e8f44b8

[barryo]

Dell Force10 - just added, see opensolutions/OSS_SNMP@cbf7bef

@bcix - to be of use, you need to add a vendor for this. You can do it in the UI or just execute the following:

INSERT INTO `vendor` VALUES ( 0, 'Dell Force10', 'DellForce10', 'dell_force10' );

To test, you'll need to bring OSS_SNMP up to master:

cd library/OSS_SNMP.git/
git pull
git checkout master
git pull
