Collins,
Thanks dude, i found all the description
in the Manual for UNIX. But i still am facing one problem. We have VLANs
created and for each IP network NetView considers is as separate object
and hence i have multiple entries for One Switch in the Smartset coz the
OID is same for all (obviously), is there a trick around any other way
that it doesn't count it again if it exists already in the database, any
other Unique ID like MAC or something?
Regards,
Usman Taokeer

Usman,
You can create a smartset and
set the SNMP sysObjectID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.324 (the ID for a 2950/24 switch)
- You can get the ids for all cisco kit at www.cisco.com
- (I found the 2950s at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2406/products_device_support_table09186a00800b5e7f.html
)
Smartsets 101 (UNIX) If you have
not created a smartset before... From the Tools menu Open Smartset Editor
- Add - (give your smartset a name and discription) - click the modify
button for definition 1 (ensure Definition Type is set to Attribute) Find
the SNMP sysObjectID attribute and set the string attribute value to =
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.324 Then click OK. You can test the definition
(click test) this will give you a list of all matching objects. Click
OK and the new smartset gets created.
If you install the Cisco - NetView
integration kit the smartset editor has a cisco attribute - can be useful
(you also get natty cisco icons for the map - not alot else though, as
far as I can see)
I am sure that other manufacturers
also supply the sysObjectID mib values for their kit too.
Happy smartsetting...

Dear list,
Can we keep a track of inventory (switches,routers models) in NetView.
I read it can be done using smartsets but don't know how exactly. Like
if i want to make a smartsets for all Cisco 2950 switches how do i do it?
or is there any other way to keep a track of that?
Regards,
