Hello, I have a problem with portadmin and CISCO switches. The portadmin is not showing any changable entries when I connect nav-portadmin to a cisco switch. Other brands like netgear, tp-link, hirschmann are working good. Sorry If I post the question to the wrong place. Please help me to find the right place to post. Best Regards, Klaus

Hi Klaus,
are we talking about a single Cisco switch, or multiple Cisco switches? Which Cisco models are they? Did you remember to add write-enabled SNMP profiles also to your Cisco switches in SeedDB?
Can you share a screenshot of what Portadmin looks like for you?

This is exactly the place for these kinds of questions :)

I have two differnet types of CISCO SG350 (24 CBS350-24T-4X Today I set the CBS350 back do factory default, changed IP and added SNMP views and communities.
There are two ways a port may become uneditable in PortAdmin:
1. Your NAV user has insufficient privileges to edit the configuration of this particular port. If your are logged in as an admin, you will always have this privilege. If you're not an admin, access depends on whether you have configured PortAdmin authorization based on criteria such as organizational VLAN ownership.
2. If a port's native VLAN is set to a VLAN that isn't actually defined on your switch. From your screenshots, it seems all the ports are configured to use VLAN 1. I'm led to believe VLAN 1 is always defined by default on a unconfigured Cisco switch, but I'm not a network engineer, so I only have very casual experience with Cisco CLI.
On Cisco, the list of defined VLANs is discovered by SNMP, using a combination of CISCO-VTP-MIB::vtpVlanState and CISCO-VTP-MIB::vtpVlanType. A VLAN is considered defined by PortAdmin if it is listed as operational(1) in the former column, and has a type of ethernet(1) in the latter column. You could use this information to confirm what your Cisco switches are actually reporting.
