Discovery of Brocade SAN Switches

[Peter Nowak]

Hi,

we want to discover Brocade SAN Switch DCX8510-8 (IBM System Storage SAN768B-2 Backbone
(2499-816).
We want to use the SSH connection, but Shazzam identified the switch as a UNIX System and therefore the discovery run failed.

Then we tried SNMP. But snmpv1 and also snmpv3 failed. Every time the Shazzam identified the switch as UNIX and no further data came out of the switch.

We don't want to use CIM, as CIM use the BNA, and BNA will not be used in future. Other CIM server isn't available.

So, how it is possible to discover a Brocade Switch.

Thx for any answer.

BR, Peter

Btw - we've already tried SSH before - credentials were successful, but we had issues with it - like
< command not found : "uname -a" .... >

Hi Vivektietsood,

thank you for your suggestions.

Port 161 and 162 were opened at the firewall (TCP & UDP) for connections from the MID Server to fulfill SNMP discovery requests of network devices.

Other SNMP devices can be correctly discovered and CI's are created.
What we see in the ECC for those devices queue looks ok for us
(order in the screenshot is upside down):

Any hint is valuable for us.

Many thanks for your support!

Sincerely,
Joachim

Do you have the OID to classify this device in your SNMP OID Table?

If not, you might want to add it.

Based on what I'm seeing the OID for this device is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.120
ServiceNow should have an OID Classifier with 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.121 that should work for this device with a little tweaking.  I would create a copy of this SNMP OID Classification record and change the *Oid to 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.120 and when its all said and done it should look like the attached. With the OID matching it should kick off the Classifier and you should be in business.

Stick with what the others said above, use a Behavior for SNMP when discovering these devices.

Try that at let us know if that works.

Make an entry in Snmp system oid and define classifier , table/class to populate , Manufacture , model.

keep credential less  disabled. 

try it. should work just fine. in case you miss some ci attributes not fetching .. load MIBs file and restart MID server .. to sync with MIBs.

hope this helps.

Thank you
