For the first time we have modelised a Juniper router in Spectrum.

We see that the interface names are completely different from what we were used to with Brocade routers for example.

Example:

Is there a way to have some naming schema more consistent between them ?

Thanks,

Hello Veronica,

I believe your question is regarding CA Spectrum.

I am transferring it to the correct space.

Thanks

Thanks. From which MIB OID does Spectrum take the interface name ?

Hi VLefebure , all,

you might want to check the device level attributes

that can bne used to control Spectrum's behaviour when naming interface models. Two small hints:

- use the Policy Manager to set the attribute value(s) on all relevant devices

- do a OneClick right mouse click Reconfiguration -> Rename Interface Models after changing the settings

hope this helps,

IfModelNameOptionSecondary 0x0

And 0x11348 is an interface attribute:

So that explains "our" problem !

For Brocade we have

which is the ifName indeed.

is this defined in the Model Type ?

Thanks

Hi VLefebure, all,

ignoring some potential magic inference handlers for now, the model type is the only place, where such information is stored.

This leaves you with 2 options to proceed: Model Type Editor or Policy Manager

While both may have their advantages and disadvantages, the Model Type Editor approach is difficult to use in case you have multiple GnSNMPDev for different types/different model naming reuqirements.

What do you mean by "some potential magic inference handlers" ?

Hi VLefebure,

the model type catalog is what we know and are able to inspect/change. The note about potentially existing IHs just meant, there is closed application code running inside Spectrum we don't know and can't check. So theoretically, some special logic within Spectrum might change settings like the ones mentioned above for specific model types or on special occasions.

Please consider this note non-relevant for now and focus on MTE and/or Policy Manager.
