Cable test from NAV
On some devices it is possible to test a cable from the switch itself. This is also doable using SNMP. Implement support for this.
Requestor is HiVolda - they can be contacted for details.
MIBs:
- HP-ICF-TRANSCEIVER-MIB
- CISCO-CABLE-DIAG-MIB
On HP uses same MIB as for DOM gathering see #1232
(Some) vendors may take the interface down when running a cable test. There must be adequate warnings in the UI before initiating such a test.
The functionality might best be suited as an action button in the port details page.
Comment from nav-ref: PortAdmin is the likely most logical place for this functionality/button.
