Hi Vinil,

The main difference in terms of discovery of Routers and Switches is the flags discovered during the classify phase.
While logic for router is limited to ipForwarding flag (being true), calculations for switch is much more complicate.

Hence my suggestion for you is:

• Check the isForwarding flag in SNMP Classify sensor probe.
• • If this is true, consult the owner of the network device.
  • If this is false, and you still see the device classified as a router, open an incident with customer support to let us have a closer look.

Hello, 

Can you please provide links, like the exact Script Include name where isForwarding is mentioned? I couldn't find it in "SNMP - Classify".
