Aruba AP iftype 188 (NetworPortWifi) isn't being imported about glpi HOT 12 CLOSED

As I've said, I have no idea if changing defaults on this type is correct or not. I have no idea neither why it's disabled nor attached to any instance right now.

Anyway, if we change that, it will target GLPI 11.

See #16995:
=> it targets GLPI 11
=> the change is only for new installations

Having a PR opened does not means it will be accepted and merged :)

I'm not sure I understand what you want. Aslo, a snmpwalk is useless for GLPI. Please provide an XML inventory file.

Also, types that are not "importable" an be configured your side.

Hello @trasher, Didn't known I could customize iftype imports through GLPI UI, thank you for your suggestion, so much easier than modifying the DB directly. I updated the issue description and provided the GLPI XML inventory file, which I would like to have provided when I opened this issue, but I was troubleshooting another issue on GLPI Agent side and there snmpwalk output is used so I think I got the things confused.

OK, thanks for the XML.

So you can just configure corresponding iftype on your instance, I do not see a bug.

As to make that type imported and linked to an instance, I have no idea if it's a good idea or not. This won't be done on a bugfixes version, you should probably use suggest for such an enhancement.

It isn't exactly a bug, it's only that GLPI should provide support for them as an importable iftype by default because that is used for Radio types interfaces (Wifi) as reported by GLPI Agent and the device itself. GLPI Agent reports them on XML but they isn't shown on "Network ports" device tab on GLPI UI by default, so the inventory do not seems full filed as it could be by default.

Maybe @g-bougard can help you to dig into this.

If I'm not mistaken, the port types can be added manually if required (glpi only offers a default list, which can be adapted to each context).

or update the existing one

Hello @stonebuzz, yes, but it seems that Aruba AP returns iftype 188 which isn't imported by default even GLPI Agent reported them on the device XML Inventory file. I believe that by default such Radio interfaces should be imported by GLPI and shown in "Network port" tab of the Network device.

from glpi.

Indeed @stonebuzz is right, this port is available in "Network port types" dropdown and from there you can set it to be imported.

In our private snmpwalk database, I only see that port type used by Aruba devices.

I don't know if we have to translate it to wifi by default. But it can make sens for port connection as it says by definition MAC layer is used.

Hello @g-bougard
I believe that based on NetworkPortTypes default association (https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/blob/10.0/bugfixes/src/NetworkPortType.php#L109), the WiFi one seems to be more suitable, as it would allows the user to provide more information that the sysadmin could provide related to those radios, like "Wifi protocol version" and "Wifi mode", and also associate a "Wifi network".
