Adding SNMP MIB Files

[Frank1975]

Hi all,
i just got an email from our Telecom Team, with a ZIP File including a lot of MIB and MY Files for our Avaya Equipment.
So i searched the Wiki and Community Page how to add this.
I found , that i need to go to MID Server -> SNMP MIB, Create a new Record , Submit and attach the MIB File. Sounds easy.

Form the Telecom Team, they told me to use the file (as there are actually 38 MIB and MY Files in the ZIP) with the name G700-MG-MIB.MY

So i did an kicked off a test discovery against a device with SNMP only.

Here my questions. Does Service Now also accept the Extension .MY ?
Is there anything else what i need to do ? Right now discovery is hanging , and the device (Avaya Gateway Server ) got classified as IP Switch.

The current process is SNMP - Identity which nothing happeneds.

Any ideas , thanks in advance

Frank

Hey,

Any luck on this? I also came across the same situation and looking out for any solution here.

Thanks,

looks like that a lot of scripting is needed to get the parts from Avaya Gateways into the CMDB. Still working on it. As soon as i get something i am posting it here.

Frank, it's been almost a year, I'm experiencing the same issue now.

Any chance you could quickly share with us how you've integrated your Avaya gear into the CMDB?  

I'd even be grateful to know what sub-class you put it in?

All,

By just adding the MIBs does not mean that we will automatically discover the device you discovered, there is much more work to be done.   We use MIBs as a 'named' OID lookup, for example.. when in the probe parameter you see something like mgmt.mib-2.entityMIB.entityMIBObjects.entityPhysical.entPhysicalTable we are actually using the MIB to find 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1

So if you have a device that is "new" or is being misclassified you will want to follow these instructions...

Build A Simple SNMP Classifier

Then if you want to add additional probes where you want to use named OIDs you can then add MIBs...
