Cisco router monitoring

[bicofino]

Hi,

How i can monitor a router CISCO 2500 series via SNMP.

I setup a new host with template Host.SNMP with port 161.

The port 161(UPD) of router is open.

The log say

008065:20050104:142302 Timeout while connecting to [192.168.0.37:161]
008065:20050104:142302 Host [Router] will be checked after [60] seconds
snmpget: Timeout


Some ideas?

Thanks in advance

It appears that your Zabbix server cannot communicate with the Cisco 2500. Is SNMP configured properly on the router?

From your Zabbix server (assuming it's a Linux box), you should be able to type:

snmpget -v 2c -c 'YOUR_COMMUNITY_STRING' 192.168.0.37 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0


That should return a value like:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 2500 Software (BLAH, BLAH, BLAH)


If you are still getting a timeout, then SNMP probably isn't configured properly on your router. If you do get information back, then something in Zabbix is not setup correctly, or perhaps you didn't compile it with SNMP support?

Hello,

it can be due to misconfigured community name or bad SNMP version. It gives same error. Try to play with it.
