HINT: IOS XE and nothing in FDB Table

In case somebody has the same issue:

… Nothing showed up in “FDB Table” for my C9x"-devices.

./discovery.php -h <HOSTNAME> -m fdb-table -d

showed several

Reason: authorizationError (access denied to that object)

The debugging output also showed that the snmpbulkwalk behind “discovery.php” included the option “-n vlan-XXX”.

Well I did not define these contexts intentionally, but a
show snmp context
listed them …

So I added a line to my IOS XE devices SNMPv3 configuration:
snmp-server group myGroup v3 priv context vlan- match prefix

(notice: This is an additional line in config. snmp-server group myGroup v3 priv I had already there)

Now the debug-discovery looked well and also the FDB Table filled up.
I had never seen this issue on other C9x switches some time ago… this is why was new to me.

Maybe this info helps others :slight_smile:
