N Series Switches SNMP info
I had a questions about snmp info from the N series switches. Specifically an N3024 with the latest FW.
When I query the switch, or more so, add it to my monitoring systems, it pulls in all "link aggregate 1-128" ports, regardless if they are configured or not, as well, they reflect that the interface is down by default.
If I were to "shut" the port, then they are recognized as "admin down", but now my config reflects 128 port-channels that are "shutdown" making my configs a little unruly.
Are there any work arounds or commands to disable/hide the link-aggregate (port-channels) from either being included in the snmp scans, or hiding them from the configuration file when editing the switch configs?
If you do a "show int des" every interface that is listed there is what snmp pulls into monitoring. It seems silly to pull 128 interfaces that aren't configured, as well as not disabled. I wouldn't think that would be the ideal "default" logic.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

Even the older switches do this. I just checked on a PowerConnect 6248, and it exhibits the same behavior. I am not aware of a way to prevent it from showing the unused interfaces.
