listInterfaces+ is an enhanced Cricket configuration generator
listInterfaces+ is a new version of listInterfaces, which allows building a config interfaces file for a variety of devices, including the Redback SMS which was previously impossible to monitor in Cricket. It also allows retrieval of interface speeds via the ifSpeed OID. The new listInterfaces+ also works nicely on Ciscos, and has been generalized enough that it also works on some switches, e.g. Foundry ServerIrons (to map the basic interfaces, not the more sophisticated features.) It can use either the ifName or ifDescr OID as the Cricket "target" key, and either the ifDescr or ifAlias OID as the textual interface description. It also offers some handy options for automatically suppressing output of entries for irrelevant pseudo-interfaces such as Cisco's Loopback, BVI, or CEF-layer interfaces; this makes it easier to always build the cricket config files directly off the router.
In general if you play around to get the right parameters, it ought to be usable with nearly any device you can bulk-walk and which supports either the standard SNMP OIDs for ifName or ifDescr as unique identifiers for all its interfaces.
For instance, here's how I automatically regenerate interface definitions for a whole group of Cisco routers, 7200s, 3620s, 2600s, and 2524s:
for router in *;
do echo "Querying router $router for current interface list"
$HOME/cricket/util/listInterfacesPlus+ --speed --suppress BVI \
--suppress Loop --suppress Null --suppress T1 --suppress cef \
$router $PASSWD > $router/interfaces
done
(On the Redback SMS only, it still may require some post-creation hand-editing of the config files until I can add some new code in, because it creates non-unique names for protocol layers on some physical ports.)
