Hi,
I have installed the latest version of NAV (4.8.6) and have added some of our Extreme switches. SNMPv2-MIB :: sysDescr.0 = STRING: ExtremeXOS (X440-48p-10G) version 16.2.2.4 16.2.2.4-patch1-3 by release-manager on Fri Feb 17 08:00:10 EST 2017
However, I get the following error message in the log file ipdevpoll.log --- 2019-01-24 11: 33: 09,664 [WARNING nav.mibs.entity_mib.entitymib] [statuscheck ex035.inet.hb.se] device response has bad table index .19.48 in ENTITY-MIB :: entPhysicalTable, ignoring --- What does this mean? Is there a solution? Are extreme switches supported by NAV?

This message can safely be ignored.
It means that the device's response from the `entPhysicalTable` includes a column that does not exist in the MIB definition NAV is using. This message tells you that NAV is ignoring the 19th column value, since it doesn't know what it's for.
NAV implements ENTITY-MIB as defined by RFC 4133 (published 2005). However, the IETF revised the ENTITY-MIB in RFC 6933 (published 2013), which now includes a new 19th column in the `entPhysicalTable`. I've added an issue to our tracker:

Are extreme switches supported by NAV?
As far as I know, yes. I am given to understand Extreme switches have some proprietary MIB for VLAN information, which NAV does actually implement - but otherwise, standard MIBs will be used, if supported by your Extreme switches.
Hi Morten
Thank you for the information. I got it up and running now. Thanks for a great product.
