[mrtg] FW: MIB query (re HP/Nortel Blade switches )...

Wed Feb 18 00:13:18 CET 2009

Hi

I tried running cfgmaker with the --ifdesc=name --ifref=name switches
and with the nortel template file altered to include both oids in the
oid_pick but the config file output for the ports was still commented

The MIBs for the GbE2c are available here 
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=
en&cc=us&prodNameId=3352726&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3352717&swLa
ng=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=181 under Management Utilities for Windows.

Using the MIBs available in the above link - how can we check if
$ifindex is the correct OID suffix or not.

Maybe you can help with this?  I have save the template as
nortel_gbe2.tp  And tried to run it with cfgmaker but get and error.  I
have only used one template before so am not sure of what I am doing
except for trial and error.  I don't have much time to spend on this
specific task.

Here is what I have and what I am getting

[root at mrtg mrtg]# /usr/bin/cfgmaker --if-template=nortel_gbe2.tp
--global 'WorkDir: /usr/local/rrd_data' --global 'LogFormat: rrdtool'
--global 'routers.cgi*Options[_]: scaled' --global 'Options[_]:
bits,growright' --ifdesc=alias --snmp-options=:::::2 --output
/etc/mrtg/blswr7e5at.cfg da1sy at blswr7e5a.beverlycorp.com
Evaluation of the contents in the file 

nortel_gbe2.tp
gave the error 

"Undefined subroutine &SNMPv1_Session::getaddrinfo called at
/usr/bin/../lib64/mrtg2/SNMP_Session.pm line 650, <IF_TEMPLATE> line 23.
"

Exiting cfgmaker

Thanks for your help, maybe working together we can get this to work.

Might be able to use both OIDs in the oid_pick in case either works:

my($hpoid) =
oid_pick($router_connect,$v3opt,"1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.4.2.1.1.2.2.
1.15.$ifindex",

      "1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.$ifindex");

Its possible as well that the HP MIB doesn't use $ifindex as the suffix
but some other index of their own, which would be a nuisance.

As someone else suggested, using --ifref=name --ifdesc=name as options
is also a good idea; my rough script just grabbed the default identifier
to use if it can't find an HP one.

Try changing the OID in the template to
.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.$ifindex. 

sample of output.

I have the same switched and when I do an snmpwalk to this oid I get the
following. 

[root at mrtg ~]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c da1sy blswr7e5a
.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.1.2.2.1.15   
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.1 = STRING:
"Blade Server 751"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.33.1.2.1.1.2.2.1.15.2 = STRING:
"Downlink2"

Hope this helps. I have not looked at the template yet but will look as
it as time permits.
