Error on Adding a Switch - Not a Switch

Problem

You get an error as "Not a Switch" when you add a switch in the Switch Port Mapper Tool.

Cause

The Switch Port Mapper, while adding a switch, performs the following checks:

  1. Whether the Switch respond to SNMP queries for the given community string.
  2. Whether the Switch has the Bridge MIB impletemented. The Bridge MIB will contain the details of the MAC Addresses of the devices connected to the Switch Ports. If this MIB is not implemented, it simply returns an error as "Not a Switch"

Note: Switches that supports Bridge MIB can only be mapped using the Switch Port Mapper Tool.

Supported Switch Types

The Switch Port Mapper tool is tested to support switches of the following vendors:

Cisco Nortel HP
Foundry Extreme Networks Intel
DLink Huawei 3com Allied Telesyn
Alcatel Force 10 Dell
