Discovery of Cisco Stacked Switches - New York

[David77]

When we Discover a Cisco Stacked Switch, it does not create 1 CI for each switch in stack, but 1 CI, with information about the other switches in stack.   Our network team would like to have 1 CI for each with a hardware relationship showing how they are in a single stack. They want each switch in the stack to have a unique serial number.

Is this possible with out-of-the-box Discovery functionality?
I've done some research, but not finding anything useful for us.

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Is the Stacked Switch pattern enabled? Are you using probes or patterns?

Thanks,

Sorry, I don't know of any plans or roadmaps.

Good question. We're just now installing and testing Cisco Catalyst in a sub-prod. 
I'll keep you posted.

Ashutosh, good question!  We were using probes/sensors, but we just did the migration to Patterns in a non-PROD, using Orlando.  WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!

Patterns sees each device in the stack ... unfortunately, it labels some as "slaves", where I'd prefer it say "secondary"/ 

Thanks!

Yes and Yes.
