We had a similar issue with the cisco blade switched in HP blade
chassis. This bug has been open over a year now:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2809033&group_id=70362&atid=527527

If you're happy to edit Info.pm you can probably work around it
yourself. Look for:

 $objtype = 'SNMP::Info::Layer2::Catalyst' if ( $desc =~ /WS-C\d{4}/ )

And add:

 $objtype = 'SNMP::Info::Layer2::Catalyst' if ( $desc =~ /CBS3/ )

Underneath it.
