Configuring the collation.properties file entries

This topic lists the collation.properties file entries that the SNMP MIB2 sensor uses.

com.collation.discover.agent.net.SnmpMib2Agent.useEntitySerial
When you set this property to true, it allows Agile Service Manager to collect the Serial Number from EntityMIB.
Agile Service Manager does not support the allowed Cisco configuration for the chassisId 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.3. As a result, an invalid information is set to the SerialNumber attribute for the Network Devices. To avoid this problem, add the com.collation.discover.agent.net.SnmpMib2Agent.useEntitySerial=true property to the collation.properties file.
com.ibm.cdb.discover.sensor.net.snmpmib2.SnmpMib2Sensor.ifType
This property is used to create relationships to network devices that use virtual interfaces and are discovered by the SNMP MIB2 sensor. By default, the sensor does not store virtual interfaces for processing. If you want the relationships to virtual interfaces to be displayed in Agile Service Manager, add this property to the collation.properties file.
The value of this property is the type of the interface of the virtual interface, which is specified by the ifType attribute. For example, if an interface has the attribute ifType=135, you must add the following property:
com.ibm.cdb.discover.sensor.net.snmpmib2.SnmpMib2Sensor.ifType=135
You can specify a comma-separated list of the types of the interface as the value of this property.
As a result, the ifType attribute value is treated as a physical port, and the relationship is created.
The default value is 6, 62, 69, 117.
com.collation.discover.agent.net.SnmpMib2Agent.isL2Interface
This property is used to suppress discovery of an L2 Interface and VLAN interface target.
VLANs should work the same as L2 interfaces and have an option to suppress discovery on VLANs, so we do not confuse devices and have VLANs as Computer System when the computer system should be created based on the Management Interface.
Agile Service Manager can check if the sysName of the target server and FQDN are matching or not. If it matches, discovery should be continued and if it does not, discovery should be stopped with a warning.
The following property must be set to true in collation.properties to activate this fix:
com.collation.discover.agent.net.SnmpMib2Agent.isL2Interface=true
