Smarts IP: Why is VRRP not being discovered; VRRPEnabled=TRUE, but it is not discovered

Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:


VRRP discovery is not happening for devices even though the VRRPEnabled is set to TRUE in the smarts/conf/discovery/discovery.conf file 
(It is set to TRUE by default). 

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Cause

VRRPEnabled is set to TRUE by default. 

In this case, there are no VRRP oids in the sm_snmpwalk files for the device, therefore it has not been configured on the device

Resolution

The oids for checking if VRRP exists for the device are :

vrrpAssoIpAddrRowStatusOID {".1.3.6.1.2.1.68.1.4.1.2"}

vrrpOperVirtualMacAddrOID {".1.3.6.1.2.1.68.1.3.1.2"}

vrrpOperPriorityOid { ".1.3.6.1.2.1.68.1.3.1.5" }

vrrpOperVirtualMacAddrOid { ".1.3.6.1.2.1.68.1.3.1.2" }

vrrpOperRowStatusOid { ".1.3.6.1.2.1.68.1.3.1.15" }

vrrpOperMasterIpAddrOID {".1.3.6.1.2.1.68.1.3.1.7"}

ipNetToMediaPhysAddressOID {".1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22.1.2"}

If these are not in the sm_snmpwalk files for the device in question, then VRRP has not been configured on the device.
