Cisco CBS switches driver

[troffasky]

Cisco CBS series switches are the successor to the Cisco Small Business series switches.
I think it would probably make sense to use CISCO-SB driver for these switches.
Do you want some snmpwalk output or similar to help add support for these switches to the CISCO-SB driver?

Is there any chance that you could provide remote access to such a device to our developers? That would be the easiest way to develop the driver.

[troffasky]

Not at this time unfortunately as they belong to customers and are deployed on customer sites. When I get one in my hands I will provide access.

Hi troffasky
Possibly share with your supplier many will make a loan unit if the device is not to expensive.

But how it goes currently, it gets detected with CISCO-GENERIC driver?

You can actually force CISCO-SB by setting custom attribute snmp.driver to CISCO-SB. If so, would all information get collected correctly or would there be any issues?

[troffasky]

The driver is detected as GENERIC and the Node type is Unknown.
But...it actually does an OK job anyway as GENERIC as it finds the name/version/Serial, so I think this is really just a cosmetic issue.
I have overridden the driver with the CISCO-SB one and done a configuration (full) poll.

Does it report VLANs correctly with GENERIC driver? If not, does forcing CISCO-SB helps?

VLAN information is most common place where custom driver is required.

Best regards,
Victor

Yes, the VLANs are reported against the switchports correctly with both GENERIC and CISCO-SB driver [here I am discussing CBS350-24FP-4X].
The "Location" field is no longer populated once switching to CISCO-SB. I think this is not a problem, with GENERIC it shows the location as "0/1/0/29" for interface te1/0/1, I am not sure that location is correct.
