Cisco Stacked switches?

[Alex Macdonel]

We're currently trying to quickly populate our asset records through discovery and we hit a snag when it comes to Cisco stacked switches; discovery only finds the primary switch but we'd like to discover all members of the stack.

I found on share the following post - Custom Probe/Sensor - Cisco Stacked Switches (member info) but it assumes you know how discovery works and I haven't been able to make it work, the error message I got is: No sensors defined

How do you deal with stacked switches? were you able to make the shared probe/sensor work? and if you did, how?

Thanks!

Hi Alejandro,

I have an updated version which I am finalizing - I'll write up some instructions and post to share next week and I'll update this post.   This customization will discover the parent switch and each of its members as CI's - also creating the master/member relationship.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

I'll be happy to test and report back!

You're not the only one. I was just having a discussion about this yesterday with our Network Team and how they wanted to have each switch listed out as a CI. I'd rather go down this route in Discovery rather a manually maintained record.

Hi Alejandro & Andrew,

I have uploaded a new version of the Cisco Stack customization to our share portal ::

Hope this helps!

Let me know if you have any issues integrating.

Thanks,
