More Specific Machine Type

Many devices, including Netgear devices, and Juniper Network Devices only give a generic machine type.  Is there a way to request more detailed Machine Types for these Vendor devices?  It appears that submitting them to Unknown Devices is not the spot, and its not stored in the database anywhere.

  • Grab the info on the device that is asked for in this thread and place it in the same thread. 

    This is the best way to have devices added to support.

    Native SNMP support for a device is controlled by the SystemObjectID database that is locked down and controlled by SW.

    The MIB database isn't used for this.  That DB is for UnDP support and is also locked down.

  • This brings up an issue that I believe needs to be resolved.  While sending a reply to the "Unknown Devices" topic works somewhat, the problem is we have no idea what is going into the MIBs.cfg file.  Is there a reason there is no CHANGES file associated with the mibs file that shows what was added.  I submitted multiple things that NEVER seem to make it into the file.  Mostly Machine Type changes.  Can't there be a better way to submit these updates, and monitor when they get added to the MIBs.cfg?
