[Beowulf] Diagnosing Discovery issue xCat

[Nick Evans]

HI Chris,

Thanks for the insight. My switch table is as follows
#switch,snmpversion,username,password,privacy,auth,linkports,sshusername,sshpassword,protocol,switchtype,comments,disable
"ms-h25-data-10g-42","SNMPv1",,,,,,,,,"Cisco",,
"ms-h25-mgtobm-1g-40","SNMPv1",,,,,,,,,"Cisco",,

I did origionaly have just "2c" for the snmpversion and have now tried 1,
2c, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c... All with now luck.

Will have to get wire shark onto it and find out what is happening.
Thanks

Nick
