Symptoms
How can I permanently change an access port to managed from unmanaged in Smarts IP?Access ports set to Managed are changed to Unmanaged after Smarts IP re-discovery Juniper EX4200-48T switch with managed / EXPLICITLY_MANAGED ports are changing to unmanaged on re-discovery
Cause
By default, access ports in Smarts IP are unmanaged during discovery and re-discovery. If you set access ports to managed using the Smarts IP interface and re-discover the ports, the IsManaged attribute will revert to being false and the ManagedState will change from EXPLICITLY_MANAGED back to UNMANAGED.
Resolution
You can manage the access ports so that the object will be explicitly managed and the Smarts IP post-processing code will not unmanage it again. This is achieved by putting the following code into your custom post processing file, calling the manage() function with over-write parameter set to True:START {..eol} do {foreach PortName (getInstances("Port")) {PortObj = object(PortName);PortObj->manage();print("Port state set to Manage ->".PortObj->ManagedState);}}
