IPS devices missing interfaces in Spectrum

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

IPS Devices modeled as NetSNMP devices are not displaying interfaces in Spectrum interfaces tab.

Environment

Release: Any
Component: SPCAEM

Cause

The interfaces mib is empty for these device

Resolution

Interfaces are normally in the ifTable. These are not, they are a completely different OID. While Spectrum could certainly look at it, we don't know its an interface on the device.

Outside of a custom management model, this would not be possible for Spectrum to monitor at that level.
