Configuring the Cisco Router
In order to use PrimeAlert for Cisco Router to monitor a Cisco Router, the router must be configured to meet the following criteria:
-
The Cisco Router must be accessible from the agent host. Note: If there is a firewall between the router and the agent host, you may have to configure the firewall to allow SNMP requests to pass between the router and the agent host.
-
The SNMP agent of the Cisco Router must be enabled and it must be configured to support the SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) protocol.
-
All managed objects defined in the RFC 1213 MIB and the Cisco Interfaces MIB should be accessible by the module with the same SNMPv1 GET (read only) community.
You may use the following Cisco IOS commands to configure the router to allow it to be monitored by the module:
-
Telnet to the router and enter privileged EXEC mode (this may require the
enable-password):
halcyon> enable
-
Enter global configuration mode:
halcyon# config
-
Execute the snmp-server command to start the Cisco SNMP agent with the same
read-only community:
halcyon(config)# snmp-server community <community string> ro
