Summary629: Support for identical ifDescr
DescriptionWe have several D-Link DGS-1210-24 switches which have an identical ifDescr on all interface (see below). I tried adding the switch but I can't create a regex to be able to add the port number to this. Is there any other way to do this ?


IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.5 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.6 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.7 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.8 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.9 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.10 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.11 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.12 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.13 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.14 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.15 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
IF-MIB::ifDescr.16 = STRING: Ethernet Interface

Please upload a complete snmpwalk from one of the switches. There may be some other OID which returns unique interface names.

I see from the data that some unique interface names are provided by another OID:
IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING: Slot0/1
IF-MIB::ifName.2 = STRING: Slot0/2
IF-MIB::ifName.3 = STRING: Slot0/3

You can instruct RackTables to use ifName by specifying it as the ifDescr attribute in the $known_switches array. Example:

  '674.10895.3007' => array
  (
    'dict_key' => 347,
    'text' => 'PowerConnect 3448: 48 RJ-45/10-100TX + 2 SFP/1000 + 2 RJ-45/10-100-1000T(X) ports',
    'processors' => array ('dell-g1-to-g2-1000SFP', 'dell-g3-to-g4-1000T', 'dell-any-100TX'),
    'ifDescrOID' => 'ifName',
  )

http://wiki.racktables.org/index.php/RackTablesDevelGuide#SNMP_sync has some more details. Please attach the patch here when you're done.

The poster did not submit a patch so I did it myself.
