Discovery and Wyse/Thin Clients

[Droid101]

I'm having trouble finding our terminals when doing a discovery on an IP range.

Is it able to find these types of devices and list all their information as it does for PC's?

Chris you would need to create a specific wyse identifier probe that calls the specific OIDs in that MIB

Chris,

On your classify payload return, are you seeing the data you expect to see from the device specific OIDs?   If so, then you might have to add a flag in your classify script.

You'll probably see code like this already in your analyze method of the classify script:

// is this thing a switch?

var ports = snmp.getOIDInt( oid_dot1dBridge + 'dot1dBase.dot1dBaseNumPorts' );

var isSwitch = ports > 0;

capabilities['switching'] = '' + isSwitch;

capabilities['block_switch_exploration'] = 'false';

So, now, check your OID by name (if you installed a MIB) or by number (if you didn't).   If that OID exists, then capabilities['wyse'] = 'true'

From there, go into your snmp classification table, add a new record, and set the capability to match for 'wyse' = 'true'.   Make sure to put it in the order to execute prior to the windows or it'll get classified in the wrong spot.

That should help.

Stephen - good recommendations.   I think our main issue is that the classify payload return is returning limited data - i.e. the only OID's returned are in the same tree as that "MS Windows CE v.4.20" and the WYSE OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.714) isn't even being referenced.   Doug provided me a workaround to test.   I'll reply to the post if I get a chance to try your recommendation on a different WYSE device that actually returns the correct OID's..

Let me know how it works out.   You have specified a full 'walk' on the WYSE OID (1.3.6.1.4.1.714) yeah?   Just to capture everything?   (It's the related record to the classify probe in a table called 'snmp fields')

Command: Walk

OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.714

Just curious if you ever made any headway here? I am just beginning testing a similar environment and would love to hear about how this all worked out.
