It seems it doesn't like the PoE on my Dell N2048P because of a NULL value in "classification" column. Do you have an idea ?
I have no experience with the POWER-ETHERNET-MIB itself, as I was not directly involved in the development of the PoE support (and interestingly enough, the dev who did signed off this list right after you posted your question :-D ).
However, the information comes from the `pethPsePortTable`, and the classification value comes explicitly from the `pethPsePortPowerClassifications` column.
NAV's model does not allow the classification field to be empty, so it would be interesting to see what your Dell switch reports in this column. Are you able to pull the full contents of POWER-ETHERNET-MIB::pethPsePortTable using NET-SNMP command line tools?
If there is a port with no value in this column, is the port powered at the moment? The MIB mentions that the classification value is only valid as long as there is a powered device connected to the port - so NAV's model requirement to have a value in this might not be valid.
