<![CDATA[Writing my own network driver]]>Hi,

first of all. With NetXMS you did a really nice job! I can nearly do everything what I want. (Although it will take some time to get every device configured 🙂

So, why I am here. I have several HP A5500-EI (== H3C S5500-EI == 3Com 4800G) switches. In general, is it possible to write my own network driver for switches (and "load" it into NetXMS)?

For H3C, it seems the work has already been started: www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/h3c-s5500-52c-pwr-ei-network-driver/ but hasn´t been imported inti NetXMS, yet. (At least, for my H3C switches "GENERIC" driver is loaded)

Best Regards
Michael

do you still need SNMP access to an H3C switch?

unfortunately console access is not enough. I need SNMP access to see switch responses and to test the driver.

Best regards,
Victor

I can provide you access to a A5500 or A5800 switch via team viewer> PC with the console port connected to the switch. Let me know if this is ok with you.

I cannot provide you access via snmp due to restricted firewall policy we have.

Thanks

Drivers are written in C++. They all extends base driver class and overrides methods needed to provide accurate information. Most important is to mark physical ports in interface list and provide VLAN information. All existing driver sources located under src/server/drivers - you can take a look.

My main problem with H3C driver is that I currently does not have access to any HP A series device for testing. I can assist you in driver development if you want to take it. Alternatively, I can write a driver if you can provide me with remote access over SNMP to some test device.

Best regards,
Victor
