Re: [Devmon] MDS9000 fibre channel switch

[Geoff H. <geo...@gm...>]

Hi Peter,

Typically, you would need to use a "branch" type in the oids file if that
will work .. instead of "leaf" type. Most MIB's are organized so the you
have a base oid and then each port is .1, .2, .3 on the end of the base oid.
The "branch" type will grab all of them. If you review the "docs/TEMPLATES"
file in the devmon install directory, it explains it better and how to
display them in a table in the messages file.
