MRTG and stacked 2950 switches

[jfarrer]

I am trying to get MRTG to give me utilization stats on two 2950 switches in a stacked configuration. The only switch that has an IP address is the cluster master. When I run MRTG cfgmaker against the stack, I only get the interfaces on the cluster master, not on the cluster member. Does anyone know what I am missing?

Thanks

Jack

Dont think that you can poll the device if there is no ip address configured on it?. You can also look at Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS), which is a web based network management software embedded in the 2950 IOS: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps628/products_data_sheet09186a00800913ce.html

have you tryed to poll the master swicht with community indexing? If I remember well, cluster members are accessed by the master through @es

I have tried that and it didn't work. I used the DOS command line 'perl cfgmaker 192.168.1.247@public@es1 > switch.cfg' and MRTG was not able to pull any information from the switch. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

I don`t know the syntax of this perl tool. Perhaps you will try snmptool.exe, a little DOS cmd tool - I will add it as an attachment.

If you use it, as agent enter the IP of he master, as community, the FIRST read comm. configured on the master (i.e "public") and then @es<#ofmember> (public@es1) and then the OID you want to poll.

That did the trick. Thanks for the help
