Discovery of routing table

[pratiksha5]

Hi, we have a requirement where in we will discover the stack switches and they need to discover with the correct routing table. Is it possible to populate the routing table and can we generate alerts if a port is down? Will all the switch ports have different IPs? Please suggest.

Hello,

ARe you able to discover Stak switched now or not?

Are you using Probes or Patterns at present for discovery?Is the Stacked Switch pattern enabled?

Also refer to below:

The Network Switch shared library supports stacked Cisco switches. The CI table for this is IP Switch [cmdb_ci_ip_switch]. Multiple switches in the stack are identified by the primary IP address. Each member of the stack is identified by a combination of elements, including the primary IP address, a name associated with the switch, and the stack mode. The relationship is created between a primary and all of the secondaries. The primary switch has all the fields listed in the table below. The secondary switch has name, ip_address, serial_number, model_id, manufacturer, stack, and stack_mode.

Note: If all the ports on a switch are open for port 161, that switch will have multiple IPs (one for each port) but the serial number for all the ports is the same. The CI identification is performed based on the serial number, therefore the same record is updated every time instead of creating a new record.

Thanks,

Hi, Thank you for the response. Presently in requirement gathering stage. Their focus is on discovering the IP switch along with the routing table. We will be going to use patterns for discovery. Do I have to enable the stacked switch pattern individually? 

Also, When the serial number will match it will not create a new CI.  Does that mean we won't be able to discover the routing table?

Is there any way ITOM can help to identify which port is down on the switch?

Hello,

When you say Routing table? which table you are referring?

For checking ports please refer to this link.
