Title: Custom Network Drivers?
Post by: Tursiops on May 30, 2016, 03:54:44 AM
Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to build my own network driver or if there are any plans to put in some kind of customisable driver which allows adding OIDs for VLANs, hardware, port configuration, etc. per node? The latter might be more scalable than building custom drivers per device type?

Alternatively, what information would be required to build a driver for a (Brocade) switch that doesn't pick up VLANs, LAGs, components or ports with the current ones?

Cheers

Hi,

currently drivers can be written only in C++. If you know C++ you can built one.

To be able to create new driver we need at least MIBs for device (ideally also indicate places where to find relevant information) and either dump of SNMP walk or (preferred) access to test device over SNMP.

Best regards,
Victor
