RackTables FAQ

how to edit this wiki?

  1. get an account at SourceForge
  2. open wiki (you are already here)
  3. make sure you are still logged in (now wiki has copied your account from SF)
  4. send a message with your SF account name to info@racktables.org

Unknown OID (n.n.n.n.n)

First of all, support for modular devices is very limited. To deal with a "chassis" (not modular) switch, the most preferred way is through filing a Mantis ticket. The following information is absolutely necessary:

  • exact model/part number of the device (this could be one of "network switch models" records, or could be not)
  • for a device, which features SFP (GBIC, X2 etc) pluggable ports, tell, which of these pluggable ports are "combo" (IOW, alternate socket for a copper port under the same name) and which are standalone ports

If possible, add the following information:

  • manufacturer's markup of device's ports (this can be "21, 22, 23, 24", "21X, 22X, 23X, 24X" or even "21, 22, 23C, 23F, 24C, 24F")
  • dump of SNMP info (if for some reason it is a problem posting this to public Mantis, e-mail it):
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public switchname sysDescr.0
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public switchname sysObjectID.0
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public switchname ifTable
