Netdisco Supported Vendors – MIB’s

During the installation of Netdisco it is possible to use Netdisco installation source code with or without MIB’s. I would like to recommend to use installation source file that is including MIB files.

The main Netdisco configuration is located at:

/usr/local/netdisco/netdisco.conf

Netdisco is configured to use several MIB’s for device pooling but it is not using all delivered MIB’s from source code of Netdisco. According to this it is any time really handy to update the configuration of Netdisco to include all MIB’s that are delivered.

Default configuration:

mibdirs         = \
    $home/mibs/allied, \
    $home/mibs/apc, \
    $home/mibs/arista, \
    $home/mibs/aruba, \
    $home/mibs/asante, \
    $home/mibs/cabletron, \
    $home/mibs/cisco, \
    $home/mibs/cyclades, \
    $home/mibs/dell, \
    $home/mibs/enterasys, \
    $home/mibs/extreme, \
    $home/mibs/foundry, \
    $home/mibs/hp, \
    $home/mibs/juniper, \
    $home/mibs/netscreen, \
    $home/mibs/nortel, \
    # Do not remove rfc or net-snmp. \
    $home/mibs/rfc,     $home/mibs/net-snmp

Default Netdisco MIB’s are located at:

/usr/local/netdisco/mibs/

#If you want to use a Net-SNMP configuration file uncomment and set to 0
#ignoresnmpconf = 1

To get the list of MIB’s that you can use for Netdisco you can run this command:

# ll /usr/local/netdisco/mibs/ | grep "^d" | awk '{print "$home/mibs/"$NF",  \\"}'
$home/mibs/3com  \
$home/mibs/alcatel  \
$home/mibs/allied  \
$home/mibs/apc  \
$home/mibs/arista  \
$home/mibs/aruba  \
$home/mibs/asante  \
$home/mibs/bluecoat  \

$home/mibs/huawei  \
$home/mibs/juniper  \
$home/mibs/lantronix  \
$home/mibs/mikrotik  \
$home/mibs/netgear  \
$home/mibs/netscreen  \
$home/mibs/net-snmp  \
$home/mibs/nortel  \
$home/mibs/packetfront  \
$home/mibs/rad  \
$home/mibs/rfc  \
$home/mibs/riverbed  \
$home/mibs/ruckus  \
$home/mibs/sonicwall  \
$home/mibs/trapeze  \
$home/mibs/xirrus  \

Based on this list you can extend the list of used MIB’s at “ /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco.conf “

mibdirs         = \
    $home/mibs/allied, \
    $home/mibs/apc, \
    $home/mibs/arista, \
    $home/mibs/aruba, \
    $home/mibs/asante, \
    $home/mibs/cabletron, \
    $home/mibs/cisco, \
    $home/mibs/cyclades, \
    $home/mibs/dell, \
    $home/mibs/enterasys, \

    $home/mibs/colubris,  \
    $home/mibs/d-link,  \
    $home/mibs/extricom,  \
    $home/mibs/f5,  \
    $home/mibs/force10,  \
    $home/mibs/h3c,  \
    $home/mibs/huawei,  \
    $home/mibs/lantronix,  \
    $home/mibs/mikrotik,  \
    $home/mibs/netgear,  \
    $home/mibs/net-snmp,  \
    $home/mibs/packetfront,  \
    $home/mibs/rad,  \
    $home/mibs/riverbed,  \
    $home/mibs/ruckus,  \
    $home/mibs/sonicwall,  \
    $home/mibs/trapeze,  \
    $home/mibs/xirrus, \
    # Do not remove rfc or net-snmp. \
    $home/mibs/rfc,     $home/mibs/net-snmp

Updated list of MIB files will be used during next polling.
