GLPI Inventory - Network Discovery - Import denied on Router

Hi all,

Been playing with this over the last few days and have tested with Fusion and now moving into GLPI Inventory.  Fusion seemed to be ok when it found my Router, it did however label it as a "Computer".  Now working with the GLPI Inventory on a fresh install, while performing a Network Discovery I am able to find my Router, however in the logs I get a "Import denied" with a Info of...

Message From Logs:

Import denied [type]: Computer, [name]: Router - Main, [mac]: **:**:**:**:**:**, [ips]: 10.16.0.2, 10.8.1.1, 127.0.0.1, 127.0.1.1, 169.254.39.15, ***.***.*.*, **.***.***.***,
[info]: If a real 'computer' please install agent on it (glpiinventory plugin is not design for this) otherwise check SNMP credentials from the IP range

Looking at it, for some reason my router is reporting the Type as a Computer and GLPI doesn't seem to like that and would rather have an agent.  Now I'm at a loss, anyone have an idea how to get this imported?  This doesn't seem to be in the rules that I can find, so I'm not sure how to either re-classify the router, or have GLPI take care of that.

A bit more info, it appears because of the import being denied the router  doesn't even get added to the Unmanaged Devices, so there is no way to manually import it either.
Open to any thoughts, thanks all!

Re: GLPI Inventory - Network Discovery - Import denied on Router

Hi wingman1487,

this happens when a router is not supported and then not recognized as a networking device.

What is the manufacturer of this router ? What's the model ?
If you can share a snmp walk, I may try to add some support for this router to GLPI-Agent. For that I need a walk generated like explained in documentation.

Anyway, sometime its sufficient to add an entry to the sysobject.ids database. Check the Contribution section there to provide required information so I can tell you if this can be sufficient.

Re: GLPI Inventory - Network Discovery - Import denied on Router

Cool, I figured as much, and thanks for getting back!

Manufacture: Asus
Model: RT-AC87U
Firmware: ASUSWRT-MERLIN

Is there a location to upload the walk file to, lots of lines output from it to put in a post.

I did a Net Inventory from the GLPI Agent on one of my windows hosts and generated below, I removed the <PORTS> section

Checking out the sysobject.ids file on the Agent and running a --debug on the glpi-netinventory it looks like the reason it's being identified as a Linux Computer is because of this

Console Output

[debug] [thread 1] #1, full match for sysobjectID .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10 in database
