[ixpmanager] Force10 S4810 support for update-l2database.pl

[Thorleif Wiik [BCIX]]

Hi all,

I think I found the solution where the MAC Addresses
can be found in the F10 SNMP Q-BRIDGE-MIB implementation:


The MAC address (and VLAN ID) is encoded in the OID that is returned.

$ snmpwalk -c public a.b.c.d .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2

..
iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2.100.0.4.35.178.69.59 = INTEGER: 770
iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2.100.0.4.35.178.99.191 = INTEGER: 770
iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2.100.0.5.133.209.248.93 = INTEGER: 770
iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2.100.0.11.96.49.208.0 = INTEGER: 770
iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2.100.0.12.66.67.126.165 = INTEGER: 770
iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.2.2.1.2.100.0.12.219.251.35.98 = INTEGER: 770
..


for the first line:

100 = VLAN ID for BCIX peering LAN

0.4.35.178.69.59 = MAC Address in decimal format



Regards, Thorleif
