we have a 3850 Stack with 3x ES-C3850-48T-S and 5x WS-C3850-12X48U. When we try to PortAdmin and edit a Port we get (see also attached Jpg):

„IP device found but has no type“

Any ideas?

There should be no IP devices without types, unless you just added a new device with an unknown type and went straight to Portadmin before ipdevpoll had a chance to poll the device. Either that, or ipdevpoll has never succeeded in polling the device.

So, any errors in ipdevpoll.log? What does the device look like in ipdevinfo?

Okey this seemed to be the problem. Now things look much better and we can actually portadmin this stack of devices.

Thanks a lot and have nice vacation, Mischa

When I enter writeable SNMP community, it cannot find the device type. When I enter Readable SNMP community, it finds the device type. What should I do to be able to use the port admin module?

If you assign a single management profile with a writeable SNMP community to a device, NAV will use that for both read and write operations. Not sure why the device would not report correctly if a writeable community is used, but devices can sometimes have strange access rules associated with each community string.

You can assign more than one SNMP profile to a device. NAV will prefer the non-writeable profile for read requests and use only the write profile for write requests, such as in PortAdmin.

Also be aware that, while Seed DB may be unable to make an automatic type identification at the time you add a device, the background polling process (ipdevpoll) will always assign a type - it will even create new type entries if it cannot find one. As it stands, it may take a couple of runs of the inventory job for the type assignment to stick properly.
