statistic trunk ports

[sebelk]

Hi!

I have about 20 switches and I'd want gather current status of trunk ports of each switch, for example current ifInOctets, IfInErrors, etc... how can I do this task?



thanks in advance

That's likely to be vendor specific. You might want to try and do an SNMP walk for all the values from the switch and then try and drill down from there which MIB value you want to monitor.

Try something like:
snmpwalk -Os -c <your community string> -v 1 <hostname>

There's a switch that will also return them showing only their MIB numbers, but I can't recall at this moment. I'm guessing here but it will likely be that you will have to look for a the trunk label under one key then below that there may be the corresponding information.

If you manage to find it post back what you found. Hope this helps. :-)

Thanks nelsonab for your reply. In fact, I already know how to obtain if a port is trunk or access, I've created an item which uses SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.3.3.1.4.x (where x is the port number). Also I already have a screen with such a data, I have a few items per port. But I want something slightly different, I want a kind of conditional thing that "if X port has current status of trunk, that tell me eg: how many packets it had received till now". Perhaps that can be done by using triggers, if it can please, give a hint about it and I hope I explained better what I want


Thanks in advance!
