brocade snmp reports ifAdminStatus incorrectly

[York, Bill, DoIT]

Hi all,

I know this is probably the wrong place to post this, but it does pertain to Nagios.

I encountered a problem while using snmp4nagios. the program is supposed to report admin=up/oper=down as a critical error. i was testing this by unplugging the fiber from a host on the switch. when i do this, the check_brocade_port program was generating a WARNING, saying that the admin status as down. it reports exactly the same message as when i administratively disable the same port.

curiously enough, logging on to the switch and running a switchshow displays the correct status. that is, not disabled and NO_LIGHT. That condition should report adminstatus=up and operstatus=down.

this seems to me to be an issue with brocade's snmp vs. the internals of the switch.

has anyone else encountered this issue and is there a way to get the switch to report the ifAdminStatus correctly?

thanks,
bill york
