See chapter 2 about getting devices recognized as switches. Switch
Analyzer is not tied to particular vendors. The device must support the
MIB you specified. The devices's OID must be in some specific
configuration files as told in Chapter 2. This lets you extend the
solution to any vendor that supports the proper MIB.
