Support for Arista VRFs + addresses within VRF

Details

    Description

      To narrow the scope of what could be a major undertaking for MIB support, a basic feature of Observium being able to see IPs on Arista interfaces that are within a VRF is missing.

      In our case, IP addresses on the Management1 interface of the Arista devices are not inventoried and therefore Observium is unable to relate received syslog entries with these IP addresses.

      I have attached what I believe could be the missing MIB file from Arista's site, but it seems rather simple and Discord chat seems to confirm that's only a small piece of the puzzle.

          Thank you! This seems to have fixed it.

          I see the IP address on Mgmt1 and the VRF appears proper.

           

          Here is the successful discover: host_discover_after_r11518.txt

          Thanks! Now should be fixed in r11518.

          (Update and rediscovery device).

          That snmpwalk seems to have all the relevant data.

           

          [^vrf.snmpwalk]

          Aha, this output is much better. Please make additional snmpdump:

          snmpwalk -v2c -c <community>@MGMT  --hexOutputLength=0 -ObentxU <hostname> .1 > vrf.snmpwalk

          Where you must use community with vrf name (MGMT) after @, i.e.: `community@MGMT`

          I believe it's still not seeing the Management1 ip address.

          Ah okay, caught why that happened. Corrected it with the last command here instead.

          [root@obs observium]# svn switch https://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk
          		 
          svn: E155025: 'http://xxxxxxxx@svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable'
          		 
          is not the same repository as
          		 
          'http://svn.observium.org/svn'
          		 
          [root@obs observium]# svn switch http://xxxxxx@svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk

           

          Pretty sure this worked as I see the observium version is now set to rolling.

          Still not seeing the interface having any addresses.
