| Description | Switch modules are instantiated only when first used. If a switch module is broken, here's what you get in the logs:
Oct 14 08:18:38 pfcmd(0) ERROR: Can not load perl module for switch 192.168.1.61, type: pf::SNMP::Cisco::Catalyst_2960.
Either the type is unknown or the perl module has compilation errors. Read the following message for

I'm not convinced that this is what should happen. Maybe we should do a sanity check of all modules specified in switches.conf at startup and stop starting right there.
What do you guys think? |
