Discovery: some Routers are identified as Switches.

[faisal_dadabhoy]

We have some "Routers" that are identified as IP switches. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this issue and how you handle it. Ideally I would like to rediscover these devices as routers to get router interfaces and routing rules.

I hate to change the base code to fix the issue, I am wondering if someone had experienced similar issue and how you have addressed it?

Thanks for help in advance, Faisal

I did find a solution to this issue. It was actually quite simple, no code change required.

The oid/model number (Cisco 2621XM) of my router was listed as "IP Switch" and it was simple to make the adjustment.

Discovery Definition -> SNMP.

I moved the oid from Standard Network Switch to Standard Network Router which resolved the issue.

I believe Cisco 2621XMshould have listed as a Router instead of Switch out of the box because on internet they are listed as a router.

Hopefully it will help someone with similar issue:-)

Thanks, Faisal
