I think you should only define correctly your device:

- Under Device Types define a new device, like "Cisco 7200";
- input the string "s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M" in the "System Description Match";
- Check that you define it like a "Switch/Router" device;
- in field "Vendor snmp Object ID Match" input ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9";
- Your device runs an IOS, so under "MAC Address Scanning Function" use "get_IOS_dot1dTpFdbEntry_ports";
- Under "IP Address Scanning Function" use "get_standard_arp_table;
- Use "0" (zero) for the fields "Low User Port Number" and "High User Port Number"

If doesn't work, try also with "get_catalyst_dot1dTpFdbEntry_ports" or "get_cabletron_switch_ports" or "get_generic_dot1q_switch_ports"... one of this must work...

Hi vins,
I try d all of the options you gave.
The second picture is the configuration one with the most result.
None of these options gave me mac addresses unfortunately :(
The best thing i got is a few options. See first picture below

i have no clue what i'm doing wrong.

maybe any other idee?

Thx in advanced for helping me.
I would be a great feature. and it saves me a lot of seeking systems.

You are using the "WRONG" scanning function. You should also be using snmpv2 as the v1 performance is nasty. Also, you MUST use PHP 5.1 and above for the same reasons.

Hi TheWitness,

Your right The 6500 switch is running IOS.
Ik configured it to get_IOS_dot1dTpFdbEntry_ports
the night run has to reveal the result.

We are using version 2 of snmp and is use version 5.1.6 of php.
So that sould be no problem....lets hope that tomorrow we have more luck

Thx in advanced

Hi Vins

When i enter the name "s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M" in the
System Description Match.
when i save the updated configuration.
an open the config again than the name is shorten to s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVI.

so the name is cutoff somehow

I think the problem is somewhere else mayby TheWitness
has a suggestion.
but maybe it is not possible on ours switches.
If that is the case then i remove the switches configuration and let it go.. unfortunately but necessary.

thx for the help Vins.

I have 6509/6513 with Sup-720 running 12.2(18)SXF12a(fc1)

This is what created for "Device Types"

Description= Cisco 6500 SUP720
Vendor = Cisco
Device Type = Switch/Router
System Description Match = IOS (tm) s72033_rp
Vendor snmp Object ID Match = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9
MAC Address Scanning Function = get_IOS_dot1dTpFdbEntry_ports
IP Address Scanning Function = get_standard_arp_table

I can see every device/MAC in every connected port.
