Cisco CP (ccp) on different subnets

[datacenter]

       Hello!

We currently have lots of branches around the world (at about 20) using a class A subnet segmented in many different subnets.

The point is that we would like to use Cisco CP (professional) to perform some monitoring on our routers, but once they are in different subnets and ccp technical datasheet says that it'd work only within the same subnet (client/PC and router).

I'd like to know if someone know how to make CCP works accessing different subnet router's.

If it's not possible, you guys now another tool that may help us to provide some monitoring options of remote routers similar to CCP?

We are currently using CLI for everything and sometimes we need to kind of meshup everything to have a graphic, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Daniel

Hi,

as far as i know CCP uses CDP to discover the devices and it is therefore not possible to discover a device on a different subnet.

You can use SNMP to gather infos about the device and/or Netflow/NBAR , all depending on what you want to monitor.

Thanks.

I managed to make it works and now its running well... i can open CCP and see some graphics.

But i'm trying to view TOP TALKERS and TOP PROTOCOLS using netflow and even after prepairing netflow as requested by CCP it stills getting no answer... no data.

All grapchis and info that i can reach by SNMP (fan speed, cpu, cache, memory, etc) is showing up, but all that i need to get by netflow is empty.

I'm testing on following router:

Cisco IOS Software, C2951 Software (C2951-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.1(3)T4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
