Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

Interfaces of IFType 53 (PROPVIRTUAL) are not discovered on devices

Environment

Smarts - 10.1.X

TCSA - 2.x

Smarts-DM - 2.x

Cause

By default, Smarts IP does not discover interfaces of type 53 (PROPVIRTUAL).

Resolution

To resolve this issue so that Smarts IP discovery will include ifType 53, do the following:
  1. Add the following line in the tpmgr-param.conf configuration file:
IFTypePatternIFExt <OID of the device> 53
  1. Reload the tpmgr-param.conf configuration file as follows:
sm_tpmgr -s <APM-domain> --load-conf=tpmgr-param.conf
  1.  Rediscover the device in Smarts IP.

Additional Information

Look at the <IP_SMARTS>/conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf for a list of all interface type.
