IP Availability Manager - Auto Discovery using CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)

Hi everybody,

I'm just trying to autodiscover a Cisco-only-network using IP Manager (8.1.1).

It was my idea to use the CDP neigbor table of my cisco devices to create a topology. (I read this in the IP Manager Discovery Guide ;-)

When I'm running "show cdp neighbors" on my switch all neigboring devices are listed.

I added a 3750 switch as an agent in the IP Manager. The Switch is discovered, but there are no neighbors listed in the IP Manager.

The IP Manager doesn't use the cdp neighbor table. (auto discovery is enabled! topology mib as data source is enabled too)

Are there any ideas how to get this running?

Please tell me if there are some basic mistakes in my plan...

Thank You!

Hello ngoetz,

Try to walk OID-s from this driver

GA_Driver::Neighbor-Cisco-Cdp-Orig-Driver

{

ReadsRulesFrom = GA_RuleSet::Neighbor-Cisco-Cdp-Orig-RS {

fileName = "discovery/ic-cisco-cdp.asl"

}

ReadsInputFrom = SNMP_WalkFE::Neighbor-Cisco-Cdp-Orig-FE {

rootOIDs = {

{5, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.18.1.1.10"}, # portChannelIfIndex

{10, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.23.1.2.1.1.3" }, # cdpCacheAddressType

{20, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.23.1.2.1.1.12" }, # cdpCacheDuplex

{30, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.23.1.2.1.1.4" }, # cdpCacheAddress

{40, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.23.1.2.1.1.6" }, # cdpCacheDeviceId

{50, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.23.1.2.1.1.7" } # cdpCacheDevicePort

}

waitForCompletion = TRUE

}
