Anyone know why Sohpos firewall reports as EliteCore Technology

FormerMember

NPM 12.0.1

1.3.6.1.4.1.21067.2 shows EliteCore instead of Sopho's?

Any idea?

MIB vendors are officially registered through iana.org. For smaller companies or start-ups, they can borrow/lease an already registered name on iana instead of paying the money to officially claim their name.

Sohpos doesnt show on the list in the link above so they must have worked out an agreement with EliteCore instead.

I've also seen the exact same thing with my Ubiquiti AP's showing at Frogfoot Networks.

You can customize this in Orion by going to Settings(All Settings) > Manage Poller. You can create a custom one and change the name so that it represents Sohpos.

MIB oids are really cheap (a few hundred dollars)

Companies also

buy in SNMP support and don't bother changing to a vendor-specific OID(almost all Net-SNMP nodes)

buy other companies (Intel/McAfee; HP/digital/compaq; cisco/netgear)

use the wrong oid because they appear to have not known what they were doing (ubiquiti/frogfoot)

Some also decide to create a whole new branch in the MIB tree because they think their interfaces are 'special'
