Issue/Introduction

You can use self certification to certify the device in your environment.

Self-Certification

Resolution

Here is a list of files and information that support will need to log your certification:

1) MIB walk of the device using sapwalk2. This format is required.

2) Manufacturer's MIB files specific to the device. (You can generally obtain these from the manufacturer's customer support site.) Often times we are unable to obtain MIB files from manufacturers because we have not purchased the device in question. Conversely, you, as owner of the device, are entitled to the files.  To obtain a set of MIB files, contact your device's manufacturer or the device manager.  Often the MIBs are available to their customers on the manufacturer's website.

3) The specific device information such as Manufacturer, device model and device firmware version e.g. Cisco IOS version, Nortel Junos

4)  The specific statistics or OIDs you need to report on, otherwise we will presume that you are looking for basic mib2 support.  For example, specify the full OID or OID tree, and/or the variable names, or specify the technology e.g. LAN/WAN, QoS, Ethernet, Router/Switch (CPU, etc) or ATM, etc. You may include any related questions or information you think is pertinent to the device certification in your Call Ticket such as number of devices to be deployed and impact to your environment.

5) Which environment is this device deployed in?  (Ex. WAN, Data Center, Campus Network, WLAN, CSP, SDN, Broadband, 5G)

6) What analysis are you applying this SNMP certification to?  (Ex. Noise reduction, proactive alerting, SLA reporting)

7) Approximately how many devices will be using this certification?

8) Are these devices part of the next-generation architecture? (SDWan, etc).
