    CatOS port names

    Orion does not poll Cisco CatOS switch interface names properly.

    See the post here:  http://thwack.com/forums/t/7694.aspx

    See case#:  39003

    I understand the need to standardize on the RFCs for SNMP.  But in some cases you guys need to understand the needs of your enterprise customers.  We have over 30 CatOS switches.  I am sure that there are larger environments who have many more than us.  While I have created a script that works around this problem, it's annoying that something so simple to implement would not be included. 

    Yet again, my cries go unheeded....   as this is not going to be part of Orion 9.0...     A little melodramatic, but hey, this is something that is bugging the hell out of me and others.

    Please, please, please fix this in Orion 9.1 or 9.x, whichever the next release is.

    Re: CatOS port names

    I second this!  Is it possible to change what Orion looks at in the MIB to look for the port name instead of port description in the MIB database?
