[mrtg] Re: identifying a device

Try snmpwalking the device and looking at the sysdescr field.  That usually
identifies the device type pretty well.

hi,

how can we identify if a device is a switch or a router by just having its IP
address and read community string? ie which MIB variable stores this
information?
