Cisco 2900xl + ATM module - Nav-users

18 Feb 2005

      Hi,
I have some question about NAV and support for new devices. There was already 
such topic, but I received suggestion to write some classes in Java to make 
NAV support new device.
My question is - do NAV developers have plans to build some interface by which 
non-programmer user can add snmpoids for cricket, reports and so on. Maybe it 
is good idea to make some public database where nav-users can put plugins 
which supports new devices. Like I said, I have bunch of Alcatel stuff, which 
I also want to monitor via NAV.
I added to NAV cisco catalyst 2900xl switch which has ATM module onboard. It 
would be nice to have some stats from this module... And another question - 
what about ATM - pvc support in NAV, are there any chances?
best regards.

We have discussed replacing the use of cricket and use our own framwork in
java to collect statistics as well. Then it would be possible to register a
new OID, and we will then be able to check which devices support it and
start collecting statistics from it automagically.

I'm not sure of the priority of this feature, but as alwys, feedback from
all users is highly appreciated.

Best regards,

I think this is a great idea!
We would even be willing to assist in such a development,
one way or another.
