2960s and 2960x have the same OID

[johan.anderstrom]

Hello,
We experience some problems when we monitor two models of Cisco Catalyst 2960 switches, the models are:

WS-C2960X 48LPS-L - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/catalyst-2960x-48lps-l-switch/model.html

WS-C2960S-24PS-L - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/catalyst-2960s-24ps-l-switch/model.html

The problem is that our monitoring system perceives the same OID on these two switches as 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1208 - cat29xxStack
This creates problems if we want do to filtering on the various models.

I can only find some information that this is a bug, but not confirmed - https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCup82940/?referring_site=bugquickviewredir

We have the latest version of the software.

Thanks in advance!
Sincerely
Johan

Hey!
This is correct from the beginning. If you want to use SysOID for 2960s or x that are not stacked, use command:
- No snmp-server sysobjectid type stack-oid
- Save config
- reload

Johan,

thanks for sharing the solution you've found.

Alternatively you could use OIDs of the ENTITY-MIB:

snmpbulkwalk (...) entPhysicalClass | grep chassis
entPhysicalClass.1001 = chassis
entPhysicalClass.2001 = chassis

snmpbulkwalk (...) entPhysicalModelName
entPhysicalModelName.1001 = WS-C2960X-48LPS-L
entPhysicalModelName.2001 = WS-C2960X-24PS-L
