I’m curious to know if there is a consistent method of always getting the proper model of an EXOS switch via SNMP. We use Auvik and we get really unreliable results from the Make/Model field. When units are stacked, we get “SummitX stacking” or something like that, but we often enable stacking even on single units to allow for easier hot-adding down the road. Is there a way to poll for the total number of slots and based on that, grab the per-slot switch model? For example, if 0 or 1 (standalone or stacked, first unit (I’m assuming)), go here and for all others go somewhere else? Sometimes it shows in the system description. I wanted to offer them some suggestions for how to do it, but I’m struggling to fine a reliable method myself across the 100 or so switches we have deployed. Thanks in advance.

BigRic,

Here a screenshot from an ERS.

This OID is a standard OID and should give the same kind of info on all types of equipment's:
