Extreme_Gather

This tool is based on Net-SNMP. Using SNMP gets, it can collect various peices of information about your extreme networking gear, currently BlackDiamonds. The script currently doesn't handle Summit48's, but that may be added soon. Here is an example output from a BlackDiamond:

[benr@nexus scripts]$ ./extreme_gather.pl -report 10.10.0.240
In 10.10.0.240 [SN: XXXXXXX-07-XXXXXXXXX] you have the following installed:

[benr@nexus scripts]$

I've "X"ed out the Serial numbers for obvious reasons. This script is handy for 3 main purposes:

1. You can inventory your BlackDiamonds in seconds. Run this once a week, or after each part swap and you will have nice log of old parts.
2. Check the complete status of your BD in seconds.
3. You can easily see what your BD will be doing at next boot and versions you currently have.
