[SOLVED] return values of ifTypes

[dagonet]

Hello everybody,
I hope someone can shed some light of this:
foreach($active_ports_array as $port_info)
{
if (($ifInterfaces[$indexes[$i]]["ifType"] >= 6) && ($ifInterfaces[$indexes[$i]]["ifType"] <= 9))
{
if ($port_info == 1)
{
$ports_active++;
}
$ports_total++;
}
$i++;
}
This is a code snippet of the mactrack_cabletron.php. I took it as an example. As you can see the ifType is compared against integers. But when I query the ifType OID I got always an array that looks like this:
Array
(
[1] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[2] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[3] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[4] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[5] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[6] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[7] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[8] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
[9] => ethernetCsmacd(6)
...
)
So that's it what make me thinking. Obviously the array contains strings, but I haven't found anything in the mactrack code, that looks like a conversion part.

Any help is appriciated. I do the writting for extreme switches right know and that drives me realy craisy.

Dude, chill. The problem here requires me to ask a few questions. Oh, and I keep trying to "make" time to get back to this.

1) What version of PHP are you using, you "SHOULD" be using PHP 5.1++ as it contains a nice new feature.
2) Do you have php_snmp enabled? I need to know that?
3) Are you using the binary mode net-snmp? If so, what version.

The bottom line is that net-snmp should be returning the "numeric" equiv and it is not. We have to find why it is not. The information you provided above, will help answer that. I would like to get to the bottom of it before you upgrade PHP by the way. So, the ball is back in your court.

I am experiencing the same problem. I have added a debug line in to determine what values are being returned and I am indeed seeing ifType's of ethernetCsmacd(6)

I use Net-SNMP on Ubuntu 8.04.

snmpwalk -V:
NET-SNMP version: 5.4.1

php -v
PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.4 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Nov 25 2008 22:10:31)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies

I have installed the php5-snmp package from Ubuntu, however I am not sure if it is functioning, I haven't attempted to toy with that much.

Code: Select all

# snmpwalk -v 2c -c mycommunity mydevice .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3
IF-MIB::ifType.1 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.2 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.3 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.4 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.5 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.6 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.7 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.8 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.9 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
IF-MIB::ifType.10 = INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)

The device I'm scanning is: WS-C6509-E

Thank you for any help...

Please see the announcement in this sub forum. There is a change in PHP that needs to be accounted for. A patch is attached there.
