Re: [Packetfence-devel] How to add a switch which is not support by packetfence yet

[Dominik G. <dg...@in...>]

Hi Treker,

I think the DES 3526 could be supported. Therefor, you would have to  
extend pf::SNMP .... basically, you'll have to make sure that every  
function in the pf::SNMP class works correctly for the DES 3526. You  
could for example use the test/connect_and_read.pl script as a  
template on how to instantiate a given switch and execute several  
functions. I'm not sure that you'll be able to do as much of the real  
workload (compared to the other, currently supported switches) for the  
DES3526 using SNMP; you might have to connect using telnet to the  
switch to implement several of the required functions.
