SNMP CONFIGURATION IN OS

[firewall1981]

Dear Team,

I have 2 no's of OS 6900-X40 and 2 no,s of OS 6450 all are interconnected together. Customer is using third party software tool to monitor their other switches now he wants to add the Omni Switch also in his NMS.

Can you suggest with snmp set of command in OS 6900 & OS 6450 so that the monitoring of this switches will also be possible.

Appreciate your response.

Regards,
Naveen Dubey

Just for monitoring:
create a snmp-user (if supported use SNMP-V3)
configure snmp traps towards the management station
e.g.
aaa authentication snmp local
user snmpv2user password 111222333 read-only all no auth
user snmpv3user password abcd1234 md5+des read-write all
snmp community map "public" user "snmpv2user" on
snmp security authentication set
snmp station 10.10.10.10 162 "snmpv3user" v3 enable

This enable community "public" to read-only access (as it is mapped to the read-only user snmpv2user).
Set commands (snmp write) is only allowed by snmpv3 (set through snmp security command)
Sends Traps using the snmpv3 user.

If you need specific counters to ask you may need to do some search (here in the forum/google/monitoring forums) or dive in the mibs, that are downloadable.

Hi every one...

I have 2 l3 switch and 19 l2 switch. I want to monitor all network switches centrally even with the links.
Is it possible??

Or please tell me the network monitoring tools which is helpful for me.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks

What do you mean with "even with the links"?

Monitoring depends on your needs.
- Using Omnivista for "switch is accessible", Firmware Updates, Locater aso.
- Using Nagios for "is accessible", temperature, ...
- Using Paessler, mrtg, .. for getting interface statistics

You could also use sflow to sample interface statistics and send them to a central server (which will probably be more efficent than snmp gets)

Always remember the more snmp requests you do the more the cpu of the switches will get stressed (WhatsUp Gold imho tries every second)

we use zabbix to monitor about 4k networking devices.
