Asset tracking using SNMP

All,

I am trying to use the snmp OID's in CISCO-ENTITY* to track which ports are
in which slots on our routers, so I can use that data at a later stage for
provsioning. On a 7200 this works reasonably well, at least I get some faint
idea as to what type of card is where. For the 7500 routers however I only
get to see that it is a PA in a VIP slot, which is not terribly useful. Has
anyone tried this before (and came up with results?)

OID used: 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1

Cheers!

 

Entity MIB is gradually rolling out on a platform by platform basis. Which
IOS version are you using? That matters. Also, some older devices may
never get entity MIB support.

 

Phillip,

All IOS 12.2.18S2. I guess there is nothing left but parsing sh diags
then...

Cheers!

 

Hi,

If it's being rolled out, what's the replacement mib/method?

Thanks,

Erik

 

For the 7500 you can use the OLD-CISCO-CHASSIS-MIB.
cardTable and cardIfIndexTable might have what you want.

Here is an example of a 7500:
