Monitor Cisco PIX or 2600 Router

[pingu]

New to Zabbix and Cisco - am I looking to see if there is a way to monitor the traffic flowing through a Cisco PIX or 2600 Router.

If your Cisco is SNMP capable, it must be OK for Zabbix to monitor.

I have now enabled SNMP on the Cisco gear. does anyone have OID(?) details for PIX and 2600 router

[Calimero]

Did you try "snmpwalk" to get some OIDs (maybe not all) that are "published" by the device ?

[pingu]

I have ran snmpwalk but as for working out wot OID's relate to what nope. Any OID info would be great. We have 3 NIC's and I would like to monitor the Public Side and the Internal LAN side.

.1.3.6.1.2.1.2 is the iftable branch of the snmp tree. You should be able to determine pretty much anything you're wanting about an interface from that.

Thanks for that. Now I think I need .3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.1, how to do I setup the zabbix Host & Item to monitor ?

[Calimero]

I you can "snmpget" that OID, then you can put it in Zabbix.

First create a new host representing your router and then add on item for each OID you want to monitor, provinding community, SNMP version, OID, polling frequency... and a key (sort of unique ID you'll use when writing triggers). An SNMP item is quite close to a Zabbix Agent item.

K, think I have set up the host and 1 item, but now I get "Availability" Not avilable.
The host is :
Use IP (ip add) ; Port 10050 ; Status Monitored

Item is :
Type: SNMPv2
SNMP Com: (as per snmpwalk info)
SNMP OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.1
SNMP port: 1994
Type: Numeric
Status: Monitored

SNMP port: 1994

usually is: SNMP port: 161

try:

Description: sysDescr
sysDescr: SNMPv1 agent
SNMP community: MySecretComm
SNMP OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
SNMP port: 161
Key: sysDescr
Type of information: Character
