MAC Track Prepending Defined Delimiter to MAC Address

Post by drcryogen »

I am running Cacti 0.8.7e on RHEL 5 (64-bit) with MACTRACK 1.1. Everything is collecting find and I am getting the desired results with one exception. The delimiter character chosen in settings is being prepended on all of my MAC Addresses. It doesn't matter which delimiting character I choose (: or -). I've attached an image for reference.

Normally, I would classify this as aesthetic and more of an annoyance than anything. However, I think this may be causing vendor lookups for MAC addresses to fail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Doc

That seems plausible. Unfortunately, in my own troubleshooting and research, I found that there was a new version of MAC Track, so I upgraded. Maybe if I have some time, I'll test this in the lab.

Thanks for your help!

It's likely the net-snmp version that you are using. You need to provide the following from your enviornments tech support page:

PHP-SNMP Support y/n
If Yes, what version of PHP
If no, or < 5.1, then run the snmpwalk against some mac addresses on the device and post the output.

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?

Even though I upgraded to the latest version of MAC Track and it resolved my problem, I would be remiss if I didn't provide you answers to your questions in case this arrises for someone else.

PHP-SNMP Supprt = Yes
PHP Version = 5.1.6

For those old entries, they will disappear eventually. You could updating them using a sql script, but they will eventually be purged.
