Enterasys Matrix E7 Cards

I've written a scanning function to scan Enterasys E7 cards running version 4 firmware. Everything works ok but I've had to add some odd if statements into the code.

Where it reads in the ifType from the mib, I'm getting back ethernetCsmacd(6) as I would expect, and indeed do with my Foundry script. However, where in the Foundry script the lines if (($ifType >= 6) && ($ifType <=9)) work fine, they don't in the Enterasys script and I've had to add an if statement above to convert the field from ethernetCsmacd(6) to just 6.

This wouldn't ordinarily be a problem except for the fact that it means I need to do the same conversion in the get_base_dit1dTpFdbEntry_ports function in the mactrack_functions.php file. Not an ideal situation.

Any ideas why this would be happening??

Are you using php_snmp or net-snmp for your get requests. The binary version of net-snmp can vary quite a bit on "how" things are setup. There is a net-snmp option for turning off that information.

If using net-snmp, an easy way to solve this is to simply not have any mib files loaded to translate the value to it's units. It's a pain, but this is where I typically go. Turn off mib file loading at all costs.

So long as your are running PHP 5.1.x or better, yes. You should be able to kick the maximum concurrent processes pretty hard too. Like 4x the number of processors.
