Hello Everyone,
I have a problem with Cisco switch(catalyst). I want to get all the MAC address being served from the ports of the switch. I found Bridge-MIB which solved my purpose. But now I came to know that there are vlans ( gosh why the world cant be simple:-(( )
OK so here i am stuck up again, I have to use community indexing for all the vlans in order to know the MAC addresses being served from the ports. So can i know the vlans of a device ? I am using SNMP to communicate with the Switch. i know I can get the vlan information from CLI using "Show vlan" command and it just shows me all that I want. But how do i do it by reading MIB ? Which MIB should i look into to get all the vlan ids ?
I thought CISCO-VTP-MIB would help but when i do a snmpwalk on vtpVlanIndex ( full path ---> iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).cisco(9).ciscoMgmt(9).ciscoVtpMIB(46).vtpMIBObjects(1).vlanInfo(3).vtpVlanTable(1).vtpVlanEntry(1).vtpVlanIndex(1) it doesnt return me any values ????
Meanwhile I found one more interesting MIB "CISCO-VLAN-MEMBERSHIP-MIB" and whola things seems to be getting better. I can get which ports belong to which vlan ( it could have been better if i could know the vlan ids since now i have to query for each port and then get the list of vlan ids and then remove the duplicate once and then change my community string to query Bridge-MIB for the MAC Address) ??
I just want to know if someone came accross such a problem ( I am sure someone must have ) and if yes then how did it got solved ?? and if no then am I moving on the right track for getting the vlan ids and then MAC addresss.
Have Fun and thanks a lot for any responses.
waiting eargely to hear from anyone ..
