Always got to hear there is no CPU stats for DELL switches, also the monitoring plugins I saw had fans, temp, psu, ports, etc. but no CPU. So I was bit excited when I found CPU stats in SNMP today for a DELL PowerConnect 2848. But then again in other places the SNMP implementation is just broken. It is the most recent firmware 1.0.0.45 from last year. :-!
$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public switchaddress .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7.1.1.1.67109249 = INTEGER: 67109249
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7.1.1.1.67109249 = INTEGER: 67109249
Error: OID not increasing: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7.1.1.1.67109249
 >= SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10895.3000.1.2.110.7.1.1.1.67109249

Is DELL a company that will fix such problems?

BugJuggler is a 70ft tall robot that uses hydraulic cylinders to hurl cars into the sky and catch them in mid-air.

They should make it to pick tanks, not cars. That would be a statement.

Irritating times


Interesting expressions "expressed their displeasure", "the US was annoyed".


709
US officials have expressed their displeasure a day after Germany expelled the CIA chief in Berlin amid a new spying scandal. Earlier, Germany's foreign minister called for a renewal of ties based "on mutual respect."


Interesting insights in the state of mind of intelligence agencies:

"Allies with sophisticated intelligence agencies like the United States and Germany understand with some degree of detail exactly what those intelligence relationships and activities entail," Earnest told a White House briefing on Friday.
"Any differences that we have are most effectively resolved through established private channels, not through the media," he added.
Meanwhile, Mike Rogers, chairman of the US House of Representatives intelligence committee accused Germany of throwing a "temper tantrum." Rogers told US news broadcaster CNN that US information had "saved German lives" and that Berlin was avoiding an "adult conversation" on the issue.


If they saved German lives by spying the german government I think the german public has a right to know more details. o_O



:headdesk


The discovery of US spies in Germany's intelligence service and Defense Ministry has sparked outrage. Now German spies are calling for a boost in funds and staff directed toward counterintelligence.
