[cisco-voip] Retrieving device information from CISCO

Tue Jan 31 09:33:41 EST 2006

Yes, SNMP works great with 4.1(3)sr2.  My phone happens to be instance 
13 so:

[wsisk at ws-fc snmp]$ snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 172.18.110.96 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.2.1.1.15.13
enterprises.9.9.156.1.2.1.1.15.13 = IpAddress: 14.48.40.131
[wsisk at ws-fc snmp]$ snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 172.18.110.96 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.2.1.1.14.13
enterprises.9.9.156.1.2.1.1.14.13 = INTEGER: 1
[wsisk at ws-fc snmp]$ snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 172.18.110.96 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.156.1.2.1.1.2.13
enterprises.9.9.156.1.2.1.1.2.13 = Hex-STRING: 00 0A 41 F9 7C C4

000A.41F9.7CC4 is the MAC address of my phone.
