--------------------------------------------------------------
I am running Zenoss 3.1.0 on Centos 5. I have a CentOS 5 server with 3 IP addresses on a bonded vlan interface. This particular server doesn't get the primary address assigned to it via modeling, but other servers with multiple addresses do. Here is the snmpwalk for the interfaces:

snmpwalk -v 1 -c private-ro localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.127.0.0.1 = IpAddress: 127.0.0.1
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.172.29.22.162 = IpAddress: 172.29.22.162
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.172.29.22.168 = IpAddress: 172.29.22.168
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.172.29.22.170 = IpAddress: 172.29.22.170

Modeling debug returns this:

<Products.DataCollector.plugins.CollectorPlugin.GetTableMap object at 0x1442d4d0>: {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1': {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.172.29.22.170': '172.29.22.170', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.172.29.22.162': '172.29.22.162', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.127.0.0.1': '127.0.0.1', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.172.29.22.168': '172.29.22.168'}, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2': {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.172.29.22.168': 8, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.172.29.22.162': 8, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.172.29.22.170': 8, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.127.0.0.1': 1}, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3': {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.127.0.0.1': '255.0.0.0', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.172.29.22.168': '255.255.255.255', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.172.29.22.162': '255.255.255.0', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.172.29.22.170': '255.255.255.255'}}

And for a server that gets correct results:

snmpwalk -v 1 -c private-ro localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.127.0.0.1 = IpAddress: 127.0.0.1
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.172.29.22.163 = IpAddress: 172.29.22.163
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.172.29.22.169 = IpAddress: 172.29.22.169

<Products.DataCollector.plugins.CollectorPlugin.GetTableMap object at 0x67214d0>: {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1': {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.172.29.22.163': '172.29.22.163', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.127.0.0.1': '127.0.0.1', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.172.29.22.169': '172.29.22.169'}, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2': {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.172.29.22.169': 8, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.172.29.22.163': 8, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2.127.0.0.1': 1}, '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3': {'.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.127.0.0.1': '255.0.0.0', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.172.29.22.169': '255.255.255.255', '.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.172.29.22.163': '255.255.255.0'}}

Why does the first server model the interfaces out of order and return a secondary address?

Thanks in advance. I've been troubleshooting this for a couple of days now, and it doesn't make any sense.

Thanks,

Bob

I am seeing the same thing monitoring Firewalls. I have interfaces that have multiple ip addresses assigned to them.  Zenoss seems to collect all the ips, but then just chooses the first one in the list as the "primary" ip for that interface. There doesn't seem to be any logic behind which is stored as the first ip address associated with the interface.  Seeing exactly what you are, some interfaces it appears to be the same order as they are returned when you snmpwalk the iptable, others it is the reverse order.


Did you get anywhere with this Bob?

We did not get anywhere with this issue and ended up discontinuing Zenoss use, mostly because of some departmental restructuring.
