Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
error: DSCV-W-'ic-iftable: ifTable' probe of <device_name> failed
Device not properly discovered
Discovery error in server log file
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS
Cause
This indicates that the ifTable cannot be probed on <device_name>.
Resolution
While unusual, this might be a valid SNMP implementation. However, since Smarts discovery relies on MIB-II (and the system group in particular), it will be incomplete for this device.
Please contact the device vendor to request an updated SNMP agent.
