TP link issue - Vendor unknown

[nmersi]

I have TP Linj Jetstream switches and I have a problem because Netdisco do not identificate vendor. In my switch LLDP and SNMP are enabled and if I query 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.7 ( found here: https://static.tp-link.com/en/configuration-guides/pdf/q_a_supported_public_mibs_for_tp-link_switches.pdf ) I get LLDP Remote port ID etc. As I have understood if netdisco do not understand the vendor it cannot use right MIBS (tplink mibs seams to be in netdisco)

How can I solve this problem?

I can only add that the switch seems not to give "vendor"

netdisco-do show -DI -d 172.16.20.116 -e vendor [23658] 2023-06-19 09:39:56 info App::Netdisco version 2.047002 loaded.

I have seen that this issue was assigned to Vendor-support. If you need any other detail let me know. Thank you, Nicola

any news?

it looks like SNMP::Info does not have a more specific device class for TP-Link, and maybe this is needed to extract some things like Vendor or other details.

Hi @nmersi can you let us know what is missing from Netdisco? The ports, or port aggregates, or VLAN info, or other device info for example?

[nmersi]

Thank you foe your answer. I have really few info, just vendor model (enterprises.11863.5.122); SNMP::Info::Layer2; location; port number and name, port status (up/down) No connected devices, no connected nodes, no VLAN info at all. The switch has LLDP enabled, Vlan configured and SNMP working. If you need any other info let me know

Thank you, Nicola

see https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco-mibs/issues/196 i addad most of what i would say here to that issue.

the tl;dr is: if you have a more recent mib collection for tp-link (i found 2022-08-31) i'll start by adding that.

to add the most basic support see: https://github.com/netdisco/netdisco-mibs/issues/196#issuecomment-1965507677 swing by irc anytime if you have questions.

they seem to be pretty standard compliant, chances are that we can get a long way without to much custom work. no promises however.
