To be blunt: I am asking "What do _you_ expect NAV to tell you about these devices that it isn't already telling you?"
If you have a network device, it will have the concept of network interfaces, whether they be physical or virtual. I expect to at least be able to see these interfaces listed in NAV - and there is only one definitive MIB to provide this information: IF-MIB (RFC 2863).
If you have an SNMP-enabled networking device and it does not support this MIB, it is useless for most network monitoring tools (maybe the vendor sells their own NMS and want to make money off of that?). Personally, I have never come across such a device before.
Our project is moving forward and we're getting close to where we have to decide what to do about WR switches. There is only one commercial provider for this type of switch, but the switch design is open HW, gateware and SW. So our choices are this or something custom.
We're currently writing a specification document for what we want. For best integration with NAV, beyond IF-MIB support, what should we ask for?
