Interface Name/IP?

For a node such as a switch, is there a way to see interface details such as name or IP? Would be nice to have this feature. I tried a suggested custom poller using OID IpAdEntAddr (1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1), but it didn't work. As of now we are only able to see if an interface is up or down, nothing else.

By default Orion polls both the ifName and ifDescr to get the interfaces name and description from the node via snmp poll. If these aren't setup on the node, this may be why you aren't seeing anything in terms of Interface name. You can also edit the interface in Orion via Node Management and give the port a friendly name if you so choose.

How about IP address? The ports on a particular switch we use have devices plugging in and out of it at random times. We would like to see what device is plugged into a certain port at any time.

Unfortunatley that's not grabbed by SNMP by NPM. A custom poller could help to get that if you can find the OID's, however, that's also something that User Device Tracker would be able to give you.
