This chapter provides scenarios for the extensibility of Oracle Communications Network Integrity using Oracle Communications Design Studio.
For this example, Cisco introduces a new vendor type to represent a new equipment part. Currently, this cartridge defines a map called ciscoVendorTypesMap that contains the equipment part name indexed by the vendor type number, which is a portion of the entPhysicalVendorType OID. The Cisco SNMP Properties Initializer produces this map and makes it available for other processors. To update the map to include a new vendor type number and corresponding equipment part name, you can extend the Discover Generic Cisco SNMP action and add a new Cisco SNMP Post Properties Initializer processor. This initializer takes as input the map (for example, ciscoVendorTypesMap) produced by the Cisco SNMP Properties Initializer. The implementation can then update the map.
