BIG-IP port sensor

The BIG-IP port sensor discovers F5 BIG-IP port interfaces.

The SnmpMib2Sensor invokes the BigIPPortSensor. The BigIPPortSensor gathers ports from the MIB, for example, the interface through which known ports can be addressed. This allows L2 topology views to be built.

Object identifiers (OIDs) that are used

The sensor follows the standards documented in RFC 1212 to retrieve ports from the MIB. Specifically, OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.5.2.1 is queried to get the interface through which the port from the MIB can be discovered.

Model objects created

The sensor creates the following model objects:

  • net.L2Interface
  • sys.UnitaryComputerSystem
