Re: [nv-l] Unknown OID's

It may be in the new updated ones, but it was not spelled out in one place in the old ones.

Thanks Leslie, Can you tell me if the step you just described is found in any of the Tivoli manuals or if it is just learned through working with the product? I am trying to put together a training manual of common processes for future admin's and want to be able to say 'Look at this manual' for a better description. Thank you..

All future nodes of this type will be discovered properly. 7) Analyze the interface and address tables relative to the interfaces drawn for the device. If these are not correct, other configuration steps may be needed, such as flags in the oid_to_type file, or operands in the seedfile. Cordially, Leslie A.

It collected about 12 devices. My question is, where is it documented on what to do with these? I know you need to add them to the oid_to_type file, but I'm sure there is more to it.
