adoom42 2015-08-09 22:54 administrator ~0002919	"4413" isn't a valid OID, so I don't see how this patch can work. Re-open if you can provide the full OID, sample data and/or a complete patch.

fx 2015-08-10 12:00 reporter ~0002921	Fair enough, but this is what the switch in a Bull INCA blade chassis shows, and it does work: # snmpget -v1 -cpublic esw-cmc1c0p1 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.4413

adoom42 2015-08-10 16:53 administrator ~0002923	"SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.4413" means "1.3.6.1.4.1.4413", not "4413". Also, that OID refers to an entire manufacturer. I don't think it would be a good idea to apply it to a single device model. Please provide the full info: http://wiki.racktables.org/index.php/FAQ#Why_does_the_SNMP_sync_feature_return_Unknown_OID_.28n.n.n.n.n.29 The manufacturer probably released some generic software which uses the same OID regardless of the hardware, similar to MikroTik's RouterOS (see bug 1117). If that is the case, determining the precise model would involve examining more than sysObjectID and is out of the scope of current developer resources. Using the provided patch would only cover one of many potential scenarios. If someone else wants to work on this, patches are appreciated.

fx 2015-08-11 17:38 reporter ~0002925	No matter, I just thought I'd contribute, having done it for here. Requested info attached, but walk+grep suggests the only more useful item in this case is SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.2.3 = STRING: "Broadcom BCM56224 - 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card"
