Does anyone else have Cisco Nexus 56128s? Mine only show as "Cisco" in device type. My Nexus 5548s are all recognized as NX-OS and the correct model by the Solarwinds modules, but not the Nexus 56128.
I dont have the 56128's but I do have 5672's which show correctly. Likely it is because there is no device profile in NPM. I have a bunch of Cisco ISR891F's which only show as Cisco as I'm running NPM 11.0.1. In 11.5 these devices show correctly.
The 56128s don't show up correctly in 11.5.2-I'm running that version. I guess I just wait for the code to catch up.
What is not showing up correctly?
I had an issue with quite a few Nexus devices in 11.5.2 not displaying correctly, but this ended up being a view problem. Our 56128's are Machine Type Cisco, but we get all the rest of the information from them, for example:
I opened a case, and had to go into Settings -> Views -> Views by Device Type, and set Cisco to default. For some strange reason the default View for Cisco for us was set to Wireless Controller. Once I set it to default I started seeing the information I was expecting. Not sure if this is what you are experiencing, but thought it might be worth mentioning.
Well this was a cool thing to check out but didn't fix my issue. But glad to see this view. I hadn't looked at it before. Solarwinds knows my 56128s are Cisco's but as far as identifying the model or OS, it can't so when I do filtering, I have to do workarounds on something other than the model. It's not the end of the world, I just don't understand why it doesn't see it's a Nexus model device.
I had the same thing with Cisco 3850's and 3650's and a slightly older version of NPM/NCM. The issue was resolved when we upgraded to the current version 11.5.2 and 7.4. I bet the Nexus 56128's will be recognized at the next version upgrade, just as my newer Cisco switches were unrecognized by Machine Type previously, and now are correctly identified for sorting.
Sorry my solution didn't work for you. From my understanding the detection is based on the SysObjectID. Is yours the same as the one I posted previously?
Our 56128's are detected correctly in NPM 11.5.2, but there isn't a custom Machine Type. I agree with rschroeder that there will probably be a custom Machine Type in newer versions, but the rest of the information should be properly detected even with Machine Type Cisco.
My suggestion at this time would be to open a support case.
