Configuring the collation.properties file entries

The sensor uses the following entries in the collation.properties file:

com.ibm.cdb.discover.sensor.net.BridgeSnmpSensor.dot1dTpFdbStatus

This property specifies the values of the dot1dTpFdbStatus object.

By default, Agile Service Manager supports values 1, 3, and 5.

If you use network switches that support other values than the default ones, add this property to the collation.property file with the specified values.

com.collation.discover.agent.net.BridgeSnmpAgent.filterCiscoTrunkPort

This property specifies whether the sensor ignores the discovery of MAC addresses on the trunk ports of Cisco devices.

The default value is true. To enable the discovery of MAC addresses on trunk ports, add this property to the collation.properties file and set it to false.

com.collation.discover.agent.net.BridgeSnmpAgent.filterLLDPTrunkPort

This property specifies whether the sensor ignores the discovery of MAC addresses on the FDB switch trunk ports.

The default value is true. To enable the discovery of MAC addresses on trunk ports, add this property to the collation.properties file and set it to false.

com.collation.discover.agent.net.BridgeSnmpAgent.filterExtremeTrunkPort

This property specifies whether the sensor ignores the discovery of MAC addresses on the trunk ports of Extreme devices.

The default value is true. To enable the discovery of MAC addresses on trunk ports, add this property to the collation.properties file and set it to false.

com.collation.discover.agent.BridgeSnmpAgent.MACAddressPrefixSkipList

This property skips MAC addresses from a network device. Use this property to filter desktops and any other physical devices, when Agile Service Manager scans network devices.

The value of this property is a list of comma-separated MAC address prefixes that are matched with the entries that the sensor finds in the Forwarding Database table. When a MAC address and an entry from the table match, the device is ignored.
