2924XL SNMP MAC Table Read Oddity

looks like you got the static MAC's and the dynamic MACS for VLAN 1

see Cisco doc "How To Get Dynamic CAM Entries (CAM Table) for Catalyst Switches"

a modifued community string in that you append "@" at the end of the community string

You're a star :) works a treat, thanks alot

One more question...

This is all for part of my uni project, network monitoring/MAC tracking system - would you recommend using SNMP to obtain the MAC table & interface and then match them up, or zip in over telnet and get it using the "show mac-address-table" command and then parse the output. I know it both gets me the same information but which is going to be the faster.

not sure as I have never tried doing this type of comparison.

if you have time do both for the learning experience

I have not a clue - however:-

The SNMP will involve a 'transaction' for each VLAN the telnet method is a single command for all VLAN

Against that it is possible that setting up the telnet session may have more overhead - particularly if fancy authentication is used.

Have you considered rcommand.http? Just to add confusion:-)

haven't got a clue what that is...
