Not sure this is the right place for this, but I am using Orion for it. :-)
Here is the situation - I have just installed a number of Extreme Summit X250e switches on our private microwave network. I am using their EAPS protocol to take the place of spanning tree to allow bandwidth load-sharing acorss the network as well as automatic failover to redundant links (layer 2 network). The switches will send a trap when the loop state changes (loop opens, or closes). I am having a hard time interpretting the trap info - the trap message contains a number of different OIDs and values. I have the MIB text file, and I think I know what I'm looking for (maybe?) but when I manually make the loop change state I get multiple traps that match what I have created for conditions, triggering my alert multiple times.
I thought I would try to set up a custom poller to poll for these values instead. The only problem is that the OID I'm trying to poll is not accepted by the Custom Poller. I can use the MIB Browser (Eng Toolset) and find the specific OID and it's value, but when I try to add that to the Custom Poller it says it's not supported (with a Get and Get Next request). I think it's because the OIDs I want are trap values?? I am wondering if those values are available somewhere else. I need help translating the MIB text into numerical OID values.
I suppose if I find the MIB entries match the specific OID I was already trying to use I'm screwed. The I'll have to figure out another way of using the traps.
Thanks in advance.
