[racktables-users] Re: SNMP bugs

Hi Denis,

Thank you for your reply.

I am certainly happy to provide whatever data is required for the 4506s. Please 
let me know what is required and in what format.
These are modular switches. In our case they are populated with 2-4 48 port 
Gigabit modules though they could also take 10/100 modules and a variety of 
other options so that may need to be taken into account.

I'm afraid I cannot commit to maintaining anything but I am more than happy to 
provide SNMP data etc. from our equipment. I'm hoping that, if we do start to 
use RackTables, we may be able to get one of our developers to spend a little 
time on it.

Regards,
Ray

I've got no 4500'es around, but if you want to provide necessary data to
support them, it's not a problem to merge it.

I think, I have even seen this myself. Will fix.

Are you ready to maintain these categories?

This makes sense, although SNMP looks a more correct mean to do the
same.
