snmpwalk ran against NSX Managers and NSX Edges responds with an unexpected node OID

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• Running snmpwalk against an NSX Manager or Edge returns a node OID belonging to a different node type. 
  • The following sample is from snmpwalk ran against an NSX Edge. 

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.###.###.10

.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 = OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.131\
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = TIMETICKS: 352287608\
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = STRING: ""\
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 = STRING: "NSXEDGE01"\

• In the VMWARE-PRODUCTS-MIB we can see the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.131 aligns with vmwNSXManagerAppliance rather than the expected vmwNSXEdgeAppliance. 

VMWARE-PRODUCTS-MIB             vmwNSXEdgeAppliance                                               node         1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.130

Environment

VMware NSX 4.x

VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.x

Resolution

This is a cosmetic issue only and doesn't affect primary SNMP functionality. 

Starting in VCF 9, both NSX Managers and NSX Edges will respond with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.6 which aligns with vmwGenericAppliance.
