Smarts IP 9.4.1: For Cisco 1900 Devices, the WAN Link interfaces are created as Ports and left unmanaged

Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:



For Cisco 1900 Devices, sysOid .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1047, the WAN Link interfaces are created as Ports and left unmanaged

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Cause

In 9.4.1 the certification was changed for this device, sysOid .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1047,  to have the containment changed from
CONT = Cisco-Router-Entity to
CONT = Cisco-RouterToSwitch

Resolution

You can discover these ports as interfaces.

1, find the ifType of these ports from the device walk files: 

e.g. from the device snap file, there are several IfIndexes in the device.

***** SNMP QUERY STARTED *****
1: ifType.1 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
2: ifType.2 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
3: ifType.3 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
4: ifType.4 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
5: ifType.5 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
6: ifType.6 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
7: ifType.7 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
8: ifType.8 (integer) ethernet-csmacd(6)
9: ifType.9 (integer) other(1)
10: ifType.10 (integer) 53
11: ifType.11 (integer) softwareLoopback(24)
12: ifType.12 (integer) softwareLoopback(24)
13: ifType.15 (integer) 131
14: ifType.16 (integer) 53

The WAN Link ports have ifType=ethernet-csmacd which has a value of 6 

2. To discover these as interfaces, the ifType has to be updated in the smarts/conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf using sm_edit: 

../smarts/bin/sm_edit ../conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf 


3. Make sure the 6 is added to the IFTypePatternIFExt line for the sysOid as follows:

IFTypePatternIFExt.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1047 6|53|121|24|30|37|134|135

4. Reload the tpmgr-param.conf as follows:

sm_tpmgr.exe -s <IP Manager instance name> --load-conf=tpmgr-param.conf


NOTE:  This way we instruct SMARTS to create all indexes that are specified in the ifTypePatternIfExt as Interfaces. 

5.  A delete and discover of the device has to be performed.
