Hi,
I'm playing around with NeDi an the possiblity to use the snmp location string to create maps and rack views. I assume that the location string in seedlist overrides the snmp location string of the switch. Now Im wondering if I could use the location string in the seedlist as a "prefix location" entry for the IP-Ranges. So for example the seedlist looks like
# DNS/IP cmty name location contact
;192.168.1.2 peblic - Switzerland;Zurich;Home Office; lanadmin
Now the idea is, that on discovery NeDi would merge that location Prefix from seedlist with the configured SNMP-String of a switch, e.g. "floor 5;DC;Rack 17;7", so that the resulting location string for the switch would be
Switzerland;Zurich;Home Office;floor 5;DC;Rack 17;7
This would be an advantage, where the snmp-location strings on the switch are kept simple (e.g. only for location infos in one building). Also for discovery with seedlists, one could use different "location prefix strings" for different areas:
# DNS/IP cmty name location contact
;192.168.1.1-254 peblic - Switzerland;Zurich;Home Office; lanadmin
;172.16.15.1-254 poblic - Germany;Cologne;Mobile Office; lanadmin
Or is it already possible and I didn't found the right topic in the forum?!
Thx MPell
