Discovery Switch Stacks

Hi All,

 

We have had issues discovering Aruba Switch stacks for some time. The master switch is discovered but it is populated with all the ports and properties etc. of all the stack members. We do not get any individual CI's for the stack members.

 

I have looked into this and it seems to be an issue at the following step:

1.45 Keep only entities that are not contained in any object

 The snmp response for the Aruba switches has for the virtual representation of the stack:

 

 

 

<entPhysicalModelName type="SnmpOctetString"/>
<entPhysicalDescr type="SnmpOctetString">Aruba 2930M Switch Stack</entPhysicalDescr>
<entPhysicalMfgName type="SnmpOctetString"/>
<entPhysicalContainedIn type="SnmpInt32">0</entPhysicalContainedIn>

 

 

 with each actual switch contained being:
 

 

 

<entPhysicalModelName type="SnmpOctetString">JL323A</entPhysicalModelName>
<entPhysicalDescr type="SnmpOctetString">Aruba JL323A 2930M-40G-8SR-PoE+ Switch</entPhysicalDescr>
<entPhysicalMfgName type="SnmpOctetString">Aruba</entPhysicalMfgName>
<entPhysicalContainedIn type="SnmpInt32">1</entPhysicalContainedIn>

 

 

So step 1.45 strips out the actual physical switches and only keeps the virtual representation.
Has anyone come across this or managed to fix it?
 
Thanks,
 
Michael.
