Issues with IBM and Lenovo Switches
As described here netdisco/netdisco-mibs#64 already, IBM Switches like the G8052 are now sold under the Lenovo brand. Starting with FW Version 8, Lenovo updates the MIBs and the SW. However, Switches running IBM FW and Switches running Lenovo Firmware are not properly detected. E.g. Neighbor detection is not working at all for me. Please review the link mentioned at the beginning, lots of detail has been covered there already.
Current Behavior
Neighbor detection is not working at all, neither with IBM FW, nor with Lenovo FW.

snmpwalk dumps are available. @inphobia I'll send them to you by mail.
received the mib info link & accepted. i'll see if i can figure it out on my own, if not i'll ping you first if i need to share it with more seasoned devs. i've already discussed this a bit with @JeroenvIS , he and @jeneric are our snmp::info experts, so i've got some ideas but i'm not even close at their level yet. this could take a bit of time, so i hope you're in no rush.
