I've added a few devices to a test NAV instance and I'm wondering how I add support for them. At Home / IP Device info / Device instance
Only the basic device info is there. I have the MIBs for the devices, what should my next step be?
The short answer is: That depends :-P
- What devices did you add, from which vendors?
- What do you consider the "basic device info"?
- What is missing?
It is quite unusual to need to implement proprietary SNMP MIBs just to get beyond the "basic device info", depending on what you put into the term "basic" :)
Hi Morten,
I'm testing with two device types, an ordinary WLAN access point and a switch.

Regarding basic information, I'm not really sure what to expect as I'm not that good yet at parsing MIB files. I don't know what is generic standard info and what is device specific. As a first step for the switch I see nothing in the Ports tab "No ports found" I was hoping for someway to setup VLANs.
The MIB file for the switch is here: https://ohwr.org/project/wr-switch-sw/blob/ 4df35933f51680e7497cb2b5b183905b374ed28e/userspace/snmpd/WR-SWITCH-MIB.txt
And it looks like individual port status is exposed, version information, temperatures and a host of other things. I don't know yet how much of this will be useful so I would like to make as much of it available as possible.
What is basic from your point of view?
