Monitoring tool For Cisco Switches

[Abdul Azeem]

Hi All,

I have installed 2 Core Switches and 9 Access Switches (4960-X,3560-X and 2960-X) in our organisation. Now we are looking for a Monitoring tool.

To monitor the Traffic status, Link status, Quarterly Health Check, etc. for all the switches on a single page.

Can anyone please suggest which Cisco Monitoring Tool will suite our requirement.

Responsses will be highly appreciated.......

Regards,

Maazeem.

Have you had a look at Cisco Prime Infrastructure?

Are you looking only to monitor Cisco devices or other devices as well? There are other tools available also so it depends on your environment, budget etc.

Hello,

if you do not have some money for Cisco Prime. You may try Zabbix, cacti or nagios. All from this is open source. But you must have some Linux/Unix experience.
For collect netflow you may try nfsen. It`s support netflow v9 in some version.

Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor would work too.
