Here's one switch that was discovered in January (i can probably make a good guess as to which revision we were on if you need that info):

root@localhost:~# snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -c public hp5120-1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: HP Comware Platform Software, Software Version 5.20.99 Release 2215
HP A5120-48G EI Switch
Copyright (c) 2010-2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.25506.11.1.38
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (441314565) 51 days, 1:52:25.65
...

In Observium it shows up in the overview screen as:

Here's another identical switch discovered in late February/early March:

root@localhost:~# snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -c public hp5120-2 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: HP Comware Platform Software, Software Version 5.20.99 Release 2215
HP A5120-24G EI Switch
Copyright (c) 2010-2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.25506.11.1.37
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (284716284) 32 days, 22:52:42.84
...

It shows up in Observium as:

If i filter the device list for HP Comware devices, i get the first one; if i filter the list for HP ProCurve, i get the second. So it seems that recent svn revisions have changed the discovery, even though the snmpwalk results haven't changed. If you want me to re-run OS discovery on them, i'm happy to do so.

Paul,

Yea, all HP Networking, maybe - but this was catching other HP devices too. What's the issue, they should be comware instead? Do we have a comware OS type? We have so many I have no clue... :-)

sysDescr matching could be enough.

Hi Tom,

A few Comware-based HP switches have been detected as ProCurve recently as well. I think it's due to bone-headed changes by HP in the sysDescr string they're returning (because, contrary to your commit message, everything HP Networking must be ProCurve-branded :-). If i grab some snmpwalk results, do you need any particular flags, or is just the content of the string enough?

Regards,
Paul
