FortiNAC unable to poll correct information on C9300 Meraki-Manged SW

[ossniper]

During deployment of FortiNAC-F 7.2.8, we attempted to integrate C9300 switches managed via Meraki within the Network Inventory of FortiNAC. However, switches appeared as unrecognized devices with question marks “?”, both in standalone and stacked configured.

But integration with C9300 Switches CLI-Managed was successful and FortiNAC can poll all information via SNMP. 

Has anyone been in this situation and how can i resolve this. 

Best Regards.

They are essentially a different switch for SNMP purposes while operating in Meraki mode. I would look and see if there is a Meraki profile/template that perhaps you can use.

Here is an overview or Meraki SNMP and you can see its much more limited vs IOS-XE in native mode:https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Monitoring_and_Reporting/SNMP_Overview_and_C...

Thank you so much. I would appreciate if there's a profile or template that can work as i have tried using  the documentation but no success yet as both at organization level and network level.

Meraki OID is 1.3.6.1.2. while the C9300 MS Switch OIDs is 1.3.6.1.4.1.

Hmm that would be strange since Catalysts even in Meraki managed mode still use the same configuration methods as they would in CLI.  These are NOT MS switches.
Perhaps if you could use dashboard CLI and do a show run on the switch itself.  There could be an SNMP view that is limiting what you are supposed to be able to see.

The C9300 Switches still uses Catalyst OID even tho they are managed via meraki dashboard, note no CLI as they are meraki-managed and the IOS are CS17 instead of MS17.12.x like standard Meraki switches or IOS-XE17.12.x like Cli catalyst switch. 

Hence, the issue. I've plan to revert to CLI- managed and function as catalyst instead of meraki managed.

This article describes the behavior where a Cisco C9300 switch displays as a '?' in Inventory when managed by the Meraki Cloud, as well as how to resolve this discrepancy.
