If your device stores the serial number as an OID or group of group of OID's accessible via a snmpwalk, then specify that in the Device Type.

However, I don't know if it actually works It's been a while since I touched that code.

Hi!

But that are the purpose? Can I view it somewhere?

[TheWitness]

It's not visible in the interface, but in the database. That was a UI component that I never finished.

Mmh...

searched through the entire DB, wasn't able to find nothing else than the

mac_track_device_types.serial_number_oid

but it's stored anywhere in the DB?

I think 'Device Serial Number' is not used yet in Mactrack DB, only 'serial_number_oid' exist, but not used in SNMP request functions and not stored in DB.
But for serials, in most cases, can be used this standard OID:
entPhysicalSerialNum.1 (.1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.1)
(not always .1 at the end on different vendors)
This command will show list of available Serials on device

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <device-ip> .1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11

For searching available 'serials' in your MIB tree, can be used this command:

Code: Select all

snmptranslate -TB '.*erial.*'

In past, in code of plugin, was exist column 'serial_number' in table 'mac_track_devices', but it was deleted:

Code: Select all

./database_upgrade.php: delete_column("mac_track_devices", "serial_number",   "ALTER TABLE `mac_track_devices` DROP COLUMN `serial_number`, ENGINE=MyISAM;");

And this 'serial_number_oid' variable was added to table 'mac_track_device_types' (i think for adding automatics for getting serials via SNMP):

Code: Select all

./database_upgrade.php: add_column("mac_track_device_types", "serial_number_oid", "ALTER TABLE `mac_track_device_types` ADD COLUMN `serial_number_oid` VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT '' AFTER `scanning_function`, ENGINE=MyISAM;");
