LMS 3.2 and Cisco Small Business Switches

[Mario Elia]

Hi there,

I'm currently using LMS 3.2 to monitor my network. We've recently purchsed a few of the Cisco Small Business Switches, the SF 300-24 model to be exact. They're considered 'managed switches' (tho thier CLI is terrible) and I would like to monitor them in CWLMS. My problem is that once I add it to CS, it doesn't resolve to anything, just sits there as a blue box with a question mark. I'm assuming this means that these devices are not (currently) supported by LMS 3.2 - do you know if that will change, or how I can go about managing this device with LMS 3.2?

Thanks

Unfortunately that series of products is not supported in any version of LMS (or even Cisco Network Assistant - CNA).

Cisco provides the FindIt utility to manage them:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Marvin.

Do you know if these devices support SNMP traps? And does the FindIT deal with them? I'm trying to monitor these as I would a regular switch on LMS 3.2 for example. I know it's a much toned down version of the IOS/CLI, but I'd still like to get an alert if/when a device is disconnected from the SF300.

Thanks
