9.111 Cisco-Monitor

The Cisco-Monitor device driver monitors a small set of parameters at a Cisco Router by means of SNMP. The monitored parameters are:

• The processor load, averaged over 5 minutes
• The size of largest available memory block
• The operation state of the primary power supply
• The operation state of the redundant power supply
• The standby state of up to 8 HSRP groups The driver permits to configure the list of HSRP group stated to be monitored. For this, the table index of each group to monitor must be entered at the maintenance/setup page of the device window.

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

• --- This page shows the operational state of each interface monitored.
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameter which must be set to reflect the configuration of the device in the sat-nms software.

• parameter --- description

• address --- The SNMP address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

  • aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --- The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
  • pppp --- The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
  • read-community --- The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
  • write-community --- The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses 'public' as a default for read and write community.

• hsrpIndex.1 ... hsrpIndex.8 --- For each group to be monitored, the table index of the group has to be entered here. These indexes have the form "x.y" where x and y are two integer numbers. Example values are "7.11", "8.12", "9.13" etc. The best way to find out the table indexes configured for this individual device is to perform a "walk" through the HSRP group table (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.106.1.2.1.1.15) of the device by means of a SNMP MIB browser tool. Setting an index value to an empty string means not to monitor this value.

• config.hsrpDesc.1 ... config.hsrpDesc.8 --- Description for each HSRP group
