Why out of Band devices are being discovered as IP Switches or Routers

[Riya25]

Hello Experts,

At present in our instance some of the out of the band devices having description "Cisco Integrated Management Controller" are being discovered as IP Switches by discovery.

And it is working fine for Dell and HP but not for Cisco.

Any reason of this?

Any type of help would be appreciated.

HI,

You have to check OIDs and classification criteria for this devices.

Hello Ashutosh,

I have checked the Classification and SNMP System OIDs,Discovery has put those OIDs under Standard Network Switch.

But in reality they are out of band devices.

So what should we know ,should we make the manual entry in Out of band device for these OIds or not?

Yes. You have to change that if you want that to be classified as out of band devices.

Hello Ashutosh,

Thank you for the help.

Adding system OIDs is solving the problem but why discovery is not discovering it as the Out of the Band device.

As adding all the OIds manually everytime is not good ,discovery should discover this devices as Out of the band device like in case of Dell and HP.

What's your opinion?
