Network Discovery (Switches, Routers) Questions.
Created: 08 Mar 2013 | 1 comment
Network Discovery Gurus please help,
When I try to discovery our network devices, it would list unknown. Is there a process on how to identify this? I haven't really used network discovery for routers and switches before. I have read the user manual, but it is not very clear. Could you shed some light, point me to a better guide or share some tips?
Thank you.

They show up as unknown because the OID's are not listed in the device classification.
Browse the MIB of a device to find the make/model. Classify that OID as switch, router, ids, firewall, etc....
If you have access to the network staff, I would provide them with a list IP's and see if they can define the devices from their network map. This is usually a quicker solution.
