Discovery via proxy
« on: August 13, 2020, 09:02:59 am »
I have a configuration with a SNMP proxy
Different devices use the same IP but each device has a different read community.
Problem is this when I do a disco.

How do I run nedi.pl so it ignores the IP?

I've never seen this and I'm afraid you'll need to run nedi.pl once for every ip. Alternatively you could disable the "discover already" check in the source code...

I'll have to create a new script for that but it won't really scale.

Is it possible to have a command line switch to disable discover already?

I am using nedi as a POC on an SDWAN and am using the standard linux NET-SNMP proxy on the CPE.

Maybe it would be easier if a dup IP is reported only if the IP & read community is the same?

I'm using this: http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Snmpd_proxy

Could be done, but as long as there's not more demand for this I'd rather keep the process as is.

Change line 1529 in libmisc.pm:

   }elsif( 0 and grep {$_ eq $doip{$id}} (@doneip,@failip) ){

I gave that a go but now it still reports "Done already"
The index for the discovery is the IP and not the device name.

I think the Index would be used with a -p but doesn't make sense with -A???

$doip contains IP addresses...

You still get the same log entries?
