This chapter provides SNMP to Oracle Communications Information Model correction information for the Oracle Communications Network Integrity Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge.
Model correction occurs when the SNMP information received through discovery from a Cisco device does not conform to the Information Model and therefore cannot be persisted as is within Network Integrity.
The Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge applies the following model corrections:
In this scenario, multiple equipment report the same relative position within the context of the same parent. The Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge applies the algorithm detailed in "About the absRelativePosition Value". No hierarchical change is required.
For a discovered Cisco device hierarchy, such as the following:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment Physical Port Equipment-Card
the Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge converts the PhysicalPort to an EquipmentHolder as follows:
Physical Devices Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment EquipmentHolder Equipment-Card
For a discovered Cisco device hierarchy, such as the following:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Physical Port
the Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge inserts an artificial Equipment entity between the EquipmentHolder and the PhysicalPort as follows:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment Physical Port
For a discovered Cisco device hierarchy, such as the following:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder EquipmentHolder
the Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge inserts an artificial Equipment entity between the two EquipmentHolders as follows:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment EquipmentHolder
For a discovered Cisco device hierarchy, such as the following:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment Equipment
the Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge inserts an artificial Equipment entity as the parent to the two equipment as follows:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment Equipment Equipment
For a discovered Cisco device hierarchy, such as the following:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment Physical Port EquipmentHolder
the Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge converts the Physical Port to an Equipment as follows:
Physical Devices Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment Equipment EquipmentHolder
For a discovered Cisco device hierarchy, such as the following:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment-Card Physical Port Equipment Equipment
the Cisco Router and Switch SNMP cartridge first converts the Physical Port to an EquipmentHolder, then inserts an artificial Equipment between the EquipmentHolder and the Equipment as follows:
Physical Device Equipment-Shelf EquipmentHolder Equipment-Card EquipmentHolder Equipment Equipment Equipment
Naming pattern for artificial entities are introduced through model corrections.
The following example shows the EquipmentHolder naming pattern.
EquipmentHolder-Artificial::entPhysicalParentRelPos
The following example shows the Equipment naming pattern.
