The question is whether these actually are Cisco switches, or if NAV has done something else wrong in this case.
I see. We didn't use cisco devices so I didn't know about that. It could be nice to have a possibility to switch of this functionality per the device or per the device type. It is only a suggestion.
If you don't use cisco devices, then that is proof that this is a bug. This really shouldn't happen on anything except for Cisco, unless some other vendor is actually using community indexing (which I doubt).
I've gone ahead and reported the bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/537166
You can subscribe to the bug report if you register with Launchpad.
Actually the checks through SNMPv1 is not a problem for us. I'll try to find out more about it and make a report on the project Launchpad.
Great :)
