Hi Mark, you can tell the vendor and model of these devices?Maybe we will
add an option to exclude check duplicate sysNames,
but because it is used for autodiscovery, it will not be the default
option.
Hi Mike,
Yes we can tell but only by IP address. To give an example, we might be monitoring standby generators. If a hospital has 4 buildings each with it's own generator then we would one of our devices connected to each generator. All four of our devices would be identical in every way and the only way to distinguish between them would be via the IP address. If you were to do an SNMP Walk all 4 they would reply with the exact same header information and only differ in the actual engine or generator information.
If it was possible to have duplicate sysNames that would be very helpful. Please let me know if I have raised more questions.
Thank-You! Mark
