Create user defined groups - Ciscoworks

[akisbouza]

Is there a way to define groups of devices in ciscoworks based on the software they run?

I mean i would like to create one group with devices running CatOS and another group with devices running IOS.

The main idea is to use netconfig implementing the same SNMP configuration in all my devices which of course is done with different commands in IOS and CatOS

Thank you

You can match IOS devices with the RME OGS ruleset of:

Device.System.Description contains "Cisco IOS" OR

Device.System.Description contains "Cisco Internetwork Operating System"

You can match CatOS devices with the ruleset of:

Device.System.SystemOID StartsWith ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5"

Thanks a lot jclark.

With the RME OGS ruleset it worked fine.

Now i am trying it through Common Services by using SystemObjectID (it works fine) but i cant find a variable similar to System.Description for my IOS Devices.

Could anyone help?

Common Services cannot be used for this. Common Services does not collect information about sysDescr. However, you can share the RME groups with other applications, so it should not be a problem to create the groups in RME.
