MacTrack Issues Obtaining Ports

Post by TheWitness »

All,

There have been recent changes in the behavior of PHP_SNMP that are causing problems with MacTrack. If you encounter these problems. Here is a temporary workaround of IOS and Generic devices.

I will have to make a more formal patch when I am back from my current off site assignment.

The two files, contained herein, need to be placed in the mactrack/lib directory. Make a backup first.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Hello,

I tested your workaround since I seem to have this problem (no active port showing up). Now with the generic devices switch I can get all the ports fine.

What I have here however is a bunch of Nortel BayStack (450, 470 and 5520). When I try to use the norbay_switch device it doesn't seem to work properly...maybe it's the same issue with PHP-SNMP?

Also I see a bunch of :

PHP Notice: Undefined index: trunkPortState in /appl/loc/cacti-0.8.7d/plugins/mactrack/lib/mactrack_norbay.php on line 164

Let me know if there's something I can do to help/test.

Did a bit of testing today, I don't know if it's for this problem but the ifType being returned is ethernetCsmacd(6) instead of just 6.

So I made use of your new function mactrack_strip_alpha and added this to mactrack_norbay.php

Code: Select all

ifInterfaces[$ifIndex]["ifType"] =  mactrack_strip_alpha($ifInterfaces[$ifIndex]["ifType"]);
For the PHP Notice: Undefined index: trunkPortState issue, it seems there's something missing in the function get_norbay_switch_ports

Code: Select all

$ifInterfaces[$ifIndex]["trunkPortState"] = @$vlan_trunkstatus[$ifIndex];

Check out the updated norbay functions in SVN. You may have to also update a few others. As of right now, I don't think I have broken anything, and have not made any database changes. Make a backup copy just the same.
