CISCO ISR
About
The CISCO ISR will monitor Cisco switches with SNMP.
This connector can retrieve information from different device types with SNMPv2. This is a custom-made connector for Ziggo which will only poll a limited set of parameters.
Installation and configuration
Creation
SNMP Main connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- Device address: not required
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.
Usage
General
On this page, an overview of general device settings is displayed, e.g., Model, Software Description, etc. Memory Usage is only calculated when polling of Memory Details is enabled.
The Availability will show a percentage of the device online time. This value will decrease if the element is in timeout state or was not active. The Availability - Last Month shows the availability from the previous month.
The Memory Details page button provides access to more specific information. It is possible to Enable or Disable the polling on this subpage. When it is Enabled, memory information will be shown in the table.
In addition, a Redetect Config can be performed with the corresponding button. This will remove all non-existing interfaces from the Interface tables.
Detailed Interface Info page
On this page, the interface info is displayed. You can choose between "IF Name:IF Custom Description" and "IF Custom Description" by configuring the Displaykey Format toggle button. For a new element, the default displaykey is "IF Name:IF Custom Description".
Via the Measurement Config. page button, you can configure a more detailed interface. Setting the MCT - Measure Port to Disabled will remove the interface from all interface tables. The row is still polled by SNMP, but no calculations are executed and no trending/alarm monitoring is possible.
Via the Reset Counters page button, you can reset all counters (Errors In, Errors Out, Rx Unicast/NUnicast/Discarded Packets, Rx Unknown Protocol, TX Unicast/NUnicast/Discarded packets) of a specific interface or of all interfaces. Setting Auto Reset Counters to a specific time period will clear all the counters automatically every day, week or month.
More detailed information about the incoming and outgoing information can be found on the Detailed Interface Info - Rx and Detailed Interface Info - Tx pages.
EEM
This page displays information of custom traps (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.*). Based on the type of trap, the Alarm or Logging Table will be updated. Custom traps require a fixed format in order to be correctly processed and displayed in the tables.
BGP
To activate the polling of the BGP data on this page, enable the Get BGP Data toggle button.
IPSLA
To activate the polling of the different IPSLA tables on this page, enable the Get IPSLA Data toggle button.
QoS
To activate the polling of the QoS data on this page, enable the Get QoS Data toggle button.
Via the Measurement Config. page button, you can configure the different interfaces. Setting the MCT - Measure QoS to Disabled will remove the interface from the QoS treeview and QoS tables. The row is still polled by SNMP, but no calculations are executed and no trending/alarm monitoring is possible.
The Refresh button will poll the the entire tree structure for the QoS. To see the results after you have configured the device, it is advised to click this Refresh button and check if the desired interface is enabled for QoS in the Measurement Configuration Table.
Notes
This is a custom-made connector for Ziggo, which will only poll a limited set of parameters because of the high number of elements.
