Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

After discovering a CiscoAPIC device in Spectrum the interfaces tab returns "This model had no interfaces".

Cause

Cisco does not put APIC interface information in any MIB object.

Resolution

Due to the lack of interface information in any supported MIB, Spectrum is unable to discover the interfaces.
