Stackwise Switch 2960

[reinaldofernandes]

Hello,

At the moment we have a stackwise swithc (3x2960) but I'm having problems to monitor that device via snmp. Always that I try to add that device with different softwares i got different issues and I've never managed to have that device properly monitored.

Do you have any suggestions?

Best regards,

Reinaldo Fernandes

Hi

share full config and show how did you try to mintor these devices? At least 'snmpwalk' and 'snmpget' command outputs.

Hi,

 you can find the config file attached.

I'm tryng to monitor it via snmp and I'm using different tools, like spiceworks, manageEngine, etc.

Best regards,

You allowed only one host to request SNMP

snmp-server host 172.20.10.230 EFL0wH3TG

Also you did not specify protocol version, look at my working example:

snmp-server community SecretComm RO
snmp-server location Room1
snmp-server contact admin@anterprise.com
snmp-server enable traps license
snmp-server host 192.168.105.105 version 2c SecretComm

Next from Linux box or Win with installed SNMP tools from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/files/

Issue the followong command, changing to the right IP address and you will see similar results:

man@srv:~$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c SecretComm 192.168.105.105
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Cisco IOS Software, C3750 Software (C3750-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.2(35)SE5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

If you see it, then read carefully your monitoring tool manual, if you won't see it, deeper tshoot is needed.

Hi,

I've added the new snmp server (spiceworks) but it's still not monitoring the stack switch.

I think the problem is with spiceworks and not with the switch, as I've tried it with PRTG and it's working. Although I'm trying to find a free solution for monitoring, any recommendation?

In the meantime, I'm having also some problems to configure ssh in some switches. Could you please provide me some support on this?

Please see file attached.

Hi

I used many different monitoring tools and stopped with Zabbix - it is free, open-source, runs on linux. But requires time to understand basic concepts to just get somtehing pinged and reported. I can give you some assistance, write to my skype.

About ssh... get used with search engines, such a simple questions already answered many times, you can read here http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security-vpn/secure-shell-ssh/4145-ssh.html

Thank you for the information. I'm at the moment trying to deploy zabbix.

About ssh I already did my research but for some reason I haven''t manage to get access to this device, that's why I asked for some support.

Could you please give a help if possible?

Show your config, let's see what is wrong

Thank you for your understanding.

1. Create username with password
2. aaa-new model must be activated
3. crypto key generate
4. line vty 0 15
transport input all/ssh
5. ip ssh version (2 preferred)

Should work.
