[opennms-devel] Determine primary SNMP-Interface and some other behaviors

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all ONMS-Developers

i have a typical router with adsl-dialup-interface. Now my little
configuration-example for my question ;)

I use OpenNMS from trunk with svn version 8334

Device-side:
- ------------
the dialup-interface has an official ip like 84.x.x.x or some other. The
LAN-Interface has 172.x.x.x. I have successfull configured snmp-agent-stuff.

ONMS-Side
- ---------
Because i will only manage my 172.x.x.x private network i have configured in
capsd-configuration.xml the ip-management rule like this:

  <ip-management policy="managed">
    <range begin="172.xxx.xxx.xxx" end="172.yyy.yyy.yyy"/>
  </ip-management>

My first wondering was, capsd checks my 84.x.x.x dialup-interface for
capabilities. Why ?? After that i have done a additional rule to unmanage
ip-ranges with:

  <ip-management policy="unmanaged">
    <specific>0.0.0.0</specific>
    <range begin="1.1.1.1" end="171.xxx.xxx.xxx"/>
  </ip-management>

Ok, now i do it again ;) In the WebUI the interface is correctly set to
unmanaged but i was wondering he detects all services again *GRRRR* ;)

The next is, that opennms add the primary snmp-interface to my 84.x.x.x
dial-upinterface ?? The only way to change that issue is to hack it in the
database manually, but the next rescan set this settings back.

Thinking about a use-case:
If you have changing ip-adresses on dialup-routers, then you will get for each
new ip-adress from isp a new interface ? Is this a bug or a feature ? After some
weeks i have to delete all my unused old isp-adress-interfaces manually ;(

My questions:
How does the algorithm to determine the primary snmp-interface works and is this
a bug or a feature ;)
I think it is not a practical way to set the primary SNMP-Interface to the
lowest ip. Not all persons have private class-a-networks ;)

Thanks in advance

Ronny
