doubt on monitoring different model of CISCO Switches and Routers

1 New Member
Hi,

I have a general doubt here regarding of monitoring different model of CISCO Switches and Routers.

I am new in SNMP, I tried to search for CISCO related mib file in the net and i got at least 600++ CISCO mibs available now. So I am wondering

1) Which mib file is actually suitable for me?
2) Is there any particular mib file for different CISCO model?
3) Let's say I have 7206VXR router and WS-C2950G-24-EI switch, so how can I search for the correct mib and be able to monitor their port status?

Hi,

you need to monitor the ports, then there are n number of tools available in the market. purchase any tool/software and install it. The software will need your SNMP community string to monitor the entire switch ports.

Allow Read only / else put an access-list to the SNMP allow the IP (where you have installed this software)

it will monitor all the ports, engine/ CPU spped, etc

another thing is that, if you have configured your mail address, then any change in the switch -- you will automatically receive the mail from the tool.

Cheers!

I have a strange bandwidth issue that I have finally tracked down to something fairly specific if anyone has any ideas... Setup: Win2003 Server, PHP 4.3.4, IIS6.0, ISAPI Network: DSL line with a Cisco 678 router using NAT and static port maps. Two switches between webserver and Cisco. Problem: Accessing PHP driven site via any computer except the web server is about 20 times slower. I can get fast response on the server

Well folks, I didn't heed the warnings (that excessive monitoring, statistics, etc. can cause a performance hit) and I have been playing around with all kinds of monitors, snapshots, especially with the gui. BUT! Performance has dropped 70%! The monitors show that the the most system overhead is caused by these selects themselves. Question 1: Is there a big red switch that turns OFF *all* of this type of activity! Question 2: If so, can I...

Hello all. I am just about to start learning Python as a friend reccomended it as a very useful and flexible language. I was just wondering if Python has the ability to connect to a Cisco Router and pull the Ip accounting information to a text file or table. Can python also start/stop/reset this IP accounting? Cheers

http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/051408-hacker-writes-rootkit-for-ciscos.html So the POC is out there and Cisco has acknowledged that it is real - is everyone keeping up to date with their network gear version updates? What experience do you guys have with patching/updating routers? How do you implement it?

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Forget the switches and routers that built Cisco Systems into a giant, albeit somewhat boring, company at the core of the Internet. These days, the company is peddling e-mail software, video conferencing systems, cable TV boxes — even furniture — as it tries to break out of the data center and get its products in front of ordinary office workers. “Cisco is kind of like the Madonna of networking,” said Mark Sue, an

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
