Adding mac address in output

Hello it's me again.

I would like netcrawl to also put the mac address of the neighbour in the output. I'm not very comfortable with ruby yet so I apologize for my lack of knowledge.

I made these changes to the peer.rb file :

  • added :mac to attr_accessor
  • added @mac to the initialize method
  • added 'mac address' => mac.to_s, to the to_hash method

Then for the lldp.rb, I don't really understand how the code works, and thus how to add the mac address. I know the MIB for the mac address is 1.0.8802.1.1.2.1.4.1.1.5 but that's it.

Adding peer.mac = @mib[OID[:lldpRemChassisId], peer_id].value gave me the "wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)" error.

Any help would be appreciated. And thanks for the program, my internship tutor really likes it.

I'm traveling until 21st day, and after that will have some catching up to do. It looks like you've made solid progress, and I'm confident you'll be able to figure it out. I would encourage looking into 'pry' and adding 'binding.pry' here and there in code, to review how it works.

I can help you implement this, but it'll take quite a while before I have time for it.
