Hi,

just to make sure, I believe this specific functions where added to the main release? Because mactrack seems to poll the arp-table of our Passport 8600's fine.
The port names are messed up on the other hand.
I don't think I overlooked a setting, because they also show up in that "strange" manner (port 2/1 is 65, port 2/48 is 112, ...) in the nortel java device manager.

For the moment I hacked this "the dirty way", by running a script after each mactrack run which will search for all "empty" `Port_name` cells from the database and fill it after a calculation.

I therefor added a seperate database with the switch-specific calculations:
420,450: index starts on 1, each stack runs till 32
460,470,5520: index starts on 1, each stack runs till 64
8600: index starts on 64, each stack runs till 64

Is this the only solution, or am I really missing some OID, MIB things?
(feel free to use the little add-on, though I'm sure everyone can make this up in less than 5 minutes)[/quote]
